Trust comes with time. It's only a foolish person who is drawn-in by a smile, loving words and promises. Take it slow and easy and get to know each other. Even the best of chameleons can't hide their true selves forever. Find someone that is fun to be with. Is good to you, keeps dates, gets along with your family and friends and is tentative to you, but not suffocating. Someone that likes to spend their weekends doing things with you. Takes you out to movies, clubs or simply spend some quiet time with you. If you find someone like that then take it slow and give that person a chance to prove their honesty.

You should choose a trustee who you know to be trustworthy.

If you are a beneficiary and had no part in choosing the trustee, you should ask for an inventory of the trust property and ask for an annual accounting of all the property that came into the trust during the year and all the property that went out. The trustee should provide an annual accounting for every year they serve. The trustee should be able to account for every cent that they handled. If the trustee will not co-operate you can bring an action in court to: 1) have the trustee ordered to provide an accounting; 2) have the trustee removed; and, 3) have a new trustee appointed by the court.

Many trustees are under the impression they can act in secret. However, they cannot. They serve in a fiduciary position and are subject to state laws that govern the action of fiduciaries. A trustee must follow the provisions of the trust to the letter. They have no other power than that recited in the trust document. They are accountable to the trustor and the beneficiaries for any mismanagement of the trust property.

If you think the trustee is mishandling the trust that benefits someone else you should speak up and have that trustee's actions reviewed by the proper authorities.

Again, it depends on what type of trust you are referring to. It is always a good idea to pick your Trustee carefully but realize that you can fire the Trustee in a heart beat if you are dissatisfied with his/her/its behavior
