Verify that they were actually deposited. For me, I would make copies of the signed checks before handing them over to anyone. Hopefully the trustee will send you both the copies of the checks and a copy of the deposit receipt.
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.
The trustee must sign. The trustee is the only person who has the power to sign on behalf of the trust. It is their purpose.

To sign checks as a successor trustee, you must first obtain a copy of the trust document that appoints you as the successor trustee. Review the document to understand your duties and responsibilities. Then, sign the checks using the format specified in the trust document, typically as "Your Name, Successor Trustee of Trust Name." Make sure to keep accurate records of all transactions and consult with legal or financial professionals if needed.
