Absolutely not! You need to talk to an attorney right away. I'm currently away from the office, but call my office and ask for my cell phone number.

Re: successors responsibilities to the beneficiaries
The language of the trust itself will dictate what the successor trustee can or cannot do.
The situation you describe does not sound like something the trust would authorize. In fact, it sounds like a trust asset is being wrongfully diverted.
If you would like to further discuss this matter, please give me a call.
