It means that Bill Smith is taking over the legal, fiduciary responsibilities for the distributions so that if there is a problem or a commingling of funds, Bill Smith would be legally liable. The successor trustee is attempting to relinquish legal responsibility which should only be allowed if the successor trustee is resigning.
