My mother made her bank the trustee for her accounts so they could pay her bills for her.
Yes. A trustee must always declare that she is signing a document in her capacity as a trustee. If not, the validity of the document will be compromised by signing as an individual with no reference to her office as trustee.
Only the trustee handling the case can answer that. It is at the descretion of the trustee of who, how, and when to allocate the assets.
The trustee has no personal interest in the property. The trustee holds interest as a trustee only and must manage the property according to the terms of the trust and only according to the terms of the trust.
No, "board of trustees" should not be capitalized as it is a common noun phrase. Only capitalize "Board of Trustees" if it is the official title of the group.
Of course they do. The beneficiaries are entitled to an annual accounting and they should monitor the trustee closely. A trustee has sweeping powers over the trust property and it is easy for a dishonest trustee to convert that property to their own use. Every state has laws that govern trustees. Any trustee who resists providing a record of their actions to the beneficiaries should be brought to court. The court can compel the trustee to file an account and the court can remove the trustee if they fail to act responsibly.Of course they do.

You need to review the provisions in the trust. The proceeds belong to the trust and would be paid over to the trustee. The provisions of the trust will tell you if the trustee can use the proceeds to purchase another property in the name of the trust.You need to review the provisions in the trust.

What kind of "trustee?" "Trustee" for WHAT?
What is a life of Trustee.
If possible you should discuss the situation with the trustor and ask to have the trustee removed. If that's not possible you could start by asking for an accounting by the trustee. You have an equitable interest in the trust property and the trustee is responsible while he is in charge. If you suspect that the trustee is borrowing against the trust, take him to court. Court's do not look favorably on self-dealing by a trustee and can remove the trustee if it finds the trustee is violating the trust. As a fiduciary the trustee is bound to do nothing that compromises anyone's rights under the trust. As a fiduciary the trustee has the obligation to grow the assets of the trust rather than waste them. If the trustee is making unsecured, no-interest loans to himself he is not making prudent decisions on behalf of the trust.
The possessive form of "trustee" is "trustee's." For example, "The trustee's decision was final."
