A beneficiary under a trust can transfer their beneficial interest by executing a formal assignment or transfer document that states their intention to transfer the interest to another party. This document typically needs to be signed, and in some cases, may require the consent of the trustee, depending on the terms of the trust. It’s important to ensure that the transfer complies with any legal requirements and the specific provisions outlined in the trust agreement itself. Additionally, the new beneficiary may need to be formally recognized by the trustee to enforce their rights under the trust.

Most all other types of trusts are Trustee driven and decisions are made by the Trustee. Randy Hughes
