No. The trustee only has the power granted in the document that created the trust. If the trust was drafted properly, there are provisions in the trust document for the removal of the trustee and for appointing a new trustee. If not, then the matter can be brought before a judge and the court can remove a trustee who is violating the terms of the trust.

A trustee must follow the terms of the trust as outlined in the legal document. If the trust document allows for discretion regarding disbursements, a trustee may have the authority to refuse to make a disbursement to a beneficiary. However, the trustee must act in good faith and in the best interests of the beneficiaries.
