The short answer is no. Only the trustee has the power to deal with the trust property and distribution. The trustee must follow the instructions as they are set forth in the trust instrument. The trust instrument should also provide for how the trust can be amended. If the family member isn't the trustee they have no power to make changes in the distribution unless they were the declarant of the trust and reserved the power to make changes.
