The responsibilities of any trustee are set forth in the trust instrument. A trust should always be drafted by an attorney who specializes in trust law and tax law and who will set the provisions of the trust to meet the needs of the trustor. The powers and responsibilities of the trustee(s) are set forth in the trust instrument and they have no other powers.

Who is in charge of making repairs on a home the deed holder or the person with the Living Trust?

Typically, the deed holder is responsible for making repairs on a home, as they legally own the property. However, if the home is placed in a Living Trust, the trustee (who may or may not be the deed holder) manages the property according to the terms of the trust. Therefore, the responsibility for repairs may depend on the specific arrangements within the trust and who is designated as the trustee. It's essential to review the Living Trust documents for clarity on responsibilities.

Can beneficiary of trust tell a trustee what to do?

They most certainly may not! The entire purpose of the trust is to prevent the beneficiary from controlling the trust. The responsibility lies with the trustee to maintain the trust as it was set up. Actually, it depends on what kind of a trust is involved. For example, a Land Trust is beneficiary driven....meaning the beneficiary tells the Trustee what to do by letter of direction. Most all other types of trusts are Trustee driven and decisions are made by the Trustee. Randy Hughes
