Yes, a trustee typically must be appointed to manage a trust. The appointment can be made by the person who creates the trust, known as the grantor or settlor, and is often specified in the trust document. In some cases, if no trustee is named or the appointed trustee is unable or unwilling to serve, a court may appoint a trustee.

What is the difference between a trustee and a successor trustee of an irrevocable trust?

The trustee is the person who presently has the authority to carry on the business of the trust.

A well drafted trust will name a successor trustee and a process by which successor trustees may be appointed.
