That depends on the terms of the trust and the law of the state where the trust was created. In general, when there are more than one fiduciary acting on either a trust or estate a majority of the fiduciaries must act together. When there are two, action has to be unanimous. Many trusts that appoint two trustees avoid this problem of unanimity by providing that each trustee may operate independently of the other. If the trust is written with this provision then one of the two trustees may close the trust account on his/her own.
There can be two trustees, depends on the wording of the trust.

Warning! An irrevocable trust is not created when the grantor (trustor) is also the trustee. By transferring their property to a trust of which they are the trustee the grantor has retained control over the property. Irrevocable trusts are usually set up for tax purposes. The grantor cannot retain any control over the property in order for the trust to qualify as an irrevocable trust. The trust you describe has failed and left the trust property exposed to creditors and taxes. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in trust law and tax law.
Absolutely....All one needs is to be the trustee of the irrevocable trust, have a Tax Identification number for the trust, and all documents for the estate, investments, shares, and accounts you are planning to transfer into the Trust account.
It is unlikely that an irrevocable trust gives the property any immunity from liens.AnswerYes. If the property is owned by an irrevocable trust the HOA can place a lien against the property and the trust. The HOA should research the trust so that the present trustees can be mentioned on the lien. Although debts are sometimes difficult to collect from a trust, the property cannot be sold or mortgaged unless the lien is paid.
You need to review the provisions of any particular trust in order to find your answer. Each trust is managed according to the provisions chosen by the person who created the trust. Many trustees can only act at the direction of the beneficiaries. You need to look for that language in each trust document.
You must review the terms of the trust to determine if any one trustee can exercise the trustee powers. That is an important issue regarding trusts. Some trusts specify that less than the full number of trustees can act on behalf of the trust and some do not.
