Nothing in this article shall prevent the enforcement of any lien as provided in articles two and three of this chapter and neither such lien nor any satisfaction obtained thereby, shall be deemed a diversion of trust assets or an unauthorized preference. For the purposes of determining the share of any trust beneficiary upon any distribution in an action to enforce the trust, the trust claim of a trust beneficiary shall not be reduced by reason of any lien to which he is entitled or by reason of any rights under any bond to which he is entitled by reason of his lien.
