A trust is managed according to the provisions set forth in the document that created the trust. A properly drafted trust should contain a provision that addresses the removal of a trustee and the appointment of a new trustee. A properly drafted trust will name a successor trustee in the event the trustee dies or resigns or must be removed. If there is no such provision in the trust document then a judge must make the change by a court order.
Most state laws require that some good cause be shown why a trustee should be removed. Such cause is shown if the trustee fails to operate the trust properly, fails to protect and invest the proceeds of the trust, engages in self-dealing with trust property, fails to obey court orders regarding operation of the trust and other actions which show the trustee is violating the fiduciary duty that all trustees owe to the beneficiaries. You should consult with an attorney who is familiar with trust law in your state who can review your situation and explain your options. Trustees have a duty to do what is best for the beneficiaries but always within the terms of the trust itself. Trustees do not take orders from beneficiaries.
