How do you sign checks as trustee?
As a trustee, you should sign checks by including your name followed by your title as trustee. For example, you would sign your name and then write "Trustee" or "Trustee of [Name of Trust]" beneath your signature. It’s important to ensure that the trust document grants you the authority to sign on behalf of the trust and that you follow any specific signing requirements outlined in that document. Always maintain clear records of all transactions for accountability.
What if I did not sign the tax refund checks that I gave to the trustee?

Can you write checks when money is in irrevocable trust?
No, you cannot write checks directly from an irrevocable trust since the trust's assets are owned by the trust itself and not by the individual who created it. The trustee manages the trust and has the authority to make distributions or pay bills on behalf of the trust, but the original grantor cannot access the funds directly. If you need to access funds, you would need to work through the trustee according to the trust's terms.
