Try the dictionary for your answer as to the common meaning of each of those words; however the trust may define the application of those words; read the trust carefully, and in an irrevocable trust, those words may have special meaning; the word appoint implies a voluntary act to be carried out by the person appointed, whereas the word delegate indicates a mandatory instruction to a person to act.
