All the provisions of a trust must be set forth in the document that create the trust. Only the trustee has 'access' to the trust property. After the death of the grantor the over-riding hope is that the trust was properly drafted. The powers of the trustee must be set forth in the trust document and those should include the power to transfer or sell the trust property and then distribute the proceeds to the beneficiaries. If the trust document does not provide for final distribution then a petition will need to be filed in a court of equity and a judge will need to issue a court order to distribute the trust assets.

What is constructive trust?

A constructive trust is not one that is created by an individual. It is not a trust (express trust) in the true meaning of the term. It is a trust created by a court as a remedy when it decides that an individual is holding title to property unfairly. It treats the defendant as though it had been the trustee of an express trust. The court then compels the defendant to convey title to the property to the rightful owner. You can read more about constructive trusts at the link below.
