A beneficiary is a person who will receive a gift from somebodies estate. A Trustee is someone who will look after the asset until the beneficiary can receive the gift. i.e If children can only inherit when they reach the age of 21. The trustees would look after the asset until they reached 21.
They most certainly may not! The entire purpose of the trust is to prevent the beneficiary from controlling the trust. The responsibility lies with the trustee to maintain the trust as it was set up. Actually, it depends on what kind of a trust is involved. For example, a Land Trust is beneficiary driven....meaning the beneficiary tells the Trustee what to do by letter of direction. Most all other types of trusts are Trustee driven and decisions are made by the Trustee. Randy Hughes

==One Answer== A trustee to trustee transfer is the legal method used to transfer an IRA or SEP (retirement accounts) account to another entity. For example, if you have an IRA certificate of deposit mature at one bank and wish to transfer it to another bank with a higher interest rate you are not allowed to cash out the CD and transfer it yourself. You need to fill out forms at the new bank and a trustee to trustee transfer will be done between the two banks. Once you have deposited funds into a personal retirement account you cannot withdraw the money yourself without incurring penalties. The banks act as your trustees.

Fiduciary is essentially a trustee. It relates to the relationship between a trustee and a beneficiary when a trust is involved.
If there is (1) more than one trustee; and, (2) the trustee-beneficiary cannot act as trustee unilaterally; and (3) the other trustee is not a beneficiary of the trust, yes. If the the trustee is also designated the beneficiary, the trust fails as illusory.
The lender is the beneficiary. The borrower is the trustor and the third party working for the lender is the trustee.
No. The trustee has full control over the assets in the trust. In a 'blind trust' the trustee must be completely independent. If the beneficiary is the trustee then the trustee is not completely independent.

Yes, a trustee can sue a beneficiary of a trust if there is a breach of trust or if the beneficiary has caused harm to the trust estate. The decision to sue typically requires approval from the trust instrument or court approval in some cases.
