(b) Any interest in a trust, in trust property, or in income of any of these that is not subject to the rights of a beneficiary’s creditors pursuant to this section shall be exempt from foreclosure, attachment, eviction, auction, and any other remedy or legal proceedings filed by or on behalf of any creditor, including, without any limitation, legal actions or claims against one or more trustees or other beneficiaries seeking a remedy that directly or indirectly affect the beneficiary’s interest, such as, for example and without limitation, an order issued at the request of a creditor or the court itself that could:

(2) Compel the trustee or beneficiary to make a distribution despite the fact that such distributions may or may not be subject to the trustee’s discretion; or
