Trusts are not managed by executors but by trustees. You need to review your trust document to determine how the trustees may be removed and replaced. In fact, for any questions about what you can do and and how you deal with your trust you must review the trust document. You are bound by the provisions set forth in the trust document.
Return to the attorney who drafted the trust to make certain it's properly done. Trust law is extremely complex. Trusts should always be drafted by an attorney who specializes in trust and tax law. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct and can result in the trust being judged invalid and the property being vulnerable to creditors and probate.

Living Trust Revocation?
Get StartedThe Living Trust Revocation is a document used to revoke a living trust or joint living trust. The Revocation can be used to either dismantle the entire plan of using a revocable living trust or to revoke the "old" living trust in preparation for preparing and signing a "new" living trust. However, if a new living trust will be created, and if it will have the same number of grantors as the revoked living trust, consider amending and restating the existing living trust instead of revoking it. If the living trust is merely restated and not revoked/replaced, the assets already transferred to the living trust will remain in the living trust, avoiding the need to transfer each of them. (See this program's Living Trust or Joint Living Trust documents and select the option to "Amend" the Trust.)
