Can beneficiary of trust tell a trustee what to do?

They most certainly may not! The entire purpose of the trust is to prevent the beneficiary from controlling the trust. The responsibility lies with the trustee to maintain the trust as it was set up. Actually, it depends on what kind of a trust is involved. For example, a Land Trust is beneficiary driven....meaning the beneficiary tells the Trustee what to do by letter of direction. Most all other types of trusts are Trustee driven and decisions are made by the Trustee. Randy Hughes

What is a trust?

A trust is a legal relationship whereby an individual (the trustor) or group of individuals transfers title to their property to a trustee. The purpose is to protect the property from creditors, relatives, any claims or liens made against the individuals, to remove property from an individual's estate, to control how the property will be distributed at death, to minimize taxes, to protect assets from a spendthrift child or beneficiary, etc. The trustee must manage the trust property, pay over the profits from and protect the property according to the terms set forth in the trust instrument. There are many types of trusts and trust law is complicated. A trust instrument should always be drafted by a professional in order to meet the needs of the trustor and meet the requirements of federal and state laws.

Can the trustee of a q tip trust dissolve the trust before the demise of the lifetime beneficiary without the consent of the residual beneficiaries in the state of New Jersey?

A trustee has only the powers that are provided in a trust instrument. Since a Q Tip Trust is created in a will by a testator who desires to preserve the trust property for his children, it is doubtful a testator would grant the power to dissolve the trust to the trustee. Therefore, if the will did not specifically grant that power to the trustee the answer to your question is no.
