An independent trustee is an entity who is completely independent of the parties to the trust, not a relative. For example, an accountant, attorney or the trust department of a bank would be an independent trustee.

What is substitution of trustee?

Replacing the trustee with another for some reason; maybe the trustee gets old and finds the job burdensome. There might be another trustee named in the document as authorized "..in the event first trustee resigns." I'm no lawyer, but I guess you could petition the court for a replacement trustee if you could prove the trustee was not following the lawful trust instructions or something.

No, substitution of trustee and termination of trustee are not the same. Substitution of trustee refers to the process of replacing one trustee with another while maintaining the trust's existence and terms. In contrast, termination of trustee involves ending the trustee's role and potentially dissolving the trust or redistributing its assets. Each process has different legal implications and outcomes for the trust and its beneficiaries.
