You can change the trustee by executing a written amendment to the trust. You may also need a codicil to your will or a new Will, since usually the same person who is named as trustee is also named as executor. I recommend having a lawyer draw them up, but if you want to tackle it yourself, the best resource for laypersons in CA is Nolo Press.
