A trustee is someone that people have placed their trust in. Usually this means that a person is responsible for money or financial instruments on behalf of someone else. Often a minor, who is not able to contract, will have a trustee that maintains a trust for that minor. A trust is a set of funds, investments and/or property that they must track and report on with full accountability.
Briefly, a trustee is someone who holds legal title to property in trust for another. They owe a duty to the beneficiary of the trust and must carry out their duty in accordance with the provisions of the trust instrument. A trustee in bankruptcy is an officer appointed by the court to collect the assets of the debtor and who can sell the debtor's property under the supervision of the court.

Can beneficiary of trust tell a trustee what to do?
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
