The identity of successor trustees and the procedure for succession will be plainly specified in the provisions of the trust instrument. Judicial involvement would be necessary for naming a successor trustee or a procedure thereto beyond the terms of the trust instrument. Citing the lack of a disinterested trustee would be a valid basis for petitioning a court to change the identity of a successor trustee beyond the operation of the terms of the instrument, but the court's question would be why was the individual thought likely or even certain to be disinterested when the trust instrument was originally drafted.
