To become a court-appointed trustee when there is none, you typically need to file a petition with the court requesting the appointment. This petition should outline your qualifications and reasons for serving as a trustee, along with any relevant documents, such as the trust agreement or evidence of the trust's existence. If the court finds your application valid, it may hold a hearing to assess your suitability and officially appoint you as the trustee.

Replacing the trustee with another for some reason; maybe the trustee gets old and finds the job burdensome. There might be another trustee named in the document as authorized "..in the event first trustee resigns."
