No compensation or commission paid or agreed to be paid for the negotiation of any loan or the execution of any trust by any such corporation shall be deemed to be interest within the meaning of any law of this state, nor shall any excess thereof over any rate of interest permitted by the laws of this state be decreed or held to be usury in any court of law or equity. The advances contemplated in this section may include the compensation paid for the employment of legal services when necessary for the protection of any trust or other fiduciary relation.
