Re: Changing trustee in a trust

Yes, this is possible. You must first review the terms of the trust for provisions concerning the removal and replacement of a trustee. There may be provisions for the resignation of a trustee and appointment of a replacement.

If the trust is silent on these matters, it may be possible to seek judicial appointment of a replacement trustee. In any event, you should plan on hiring a competent attorney to assist you.
