Trusts - Duties of Trustee

The trustee had a duty to make sure the beneficiary wasn't drinking SPOILED CABS.
The trustee is the legal owner of trust property, who holds it for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Legal title to, and responsibility for, the management of the trust res resides in the trustee. The beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of the trust assets, but cannot ordinarily affect or alter the dispositive or administrative provisions of the trust.

A trustee cannot be a minor, mentally incompetent person, a nondomiciliary alien, a felon, or someone who does not possess the requisite ability because of substance abuse, dishonesty, or improvidence. The court may also refuse to allow someone who does not read and write English to serve as the trustee. A corporation can serve as a trustee also. Any interested party may seek removal or suspension of a trustee for insolvency or threatened insolvency or unsuitability. Any other power to remove trustees must be granted in the trust instrument. A trustee who has accepted the position cannot resign as of right; his resignation must be accepted by the court.

The duties are SPOILED CAB.
refrain from SELF-DEALING (duty of loyalty)

PROTECT the corpus of the trust by preserving principal and diversifying the trust portfolio.

refrain from usurping OPPORTUNITIES available to trust (duty of loyalty)

INFORM settlor and beneficiaries of transactions involving more than 25% of trust assets and wait for objections prior to executing the transaction

LITIGATE on behalf of the trust when necessary

EXERCISE degree of care, skill and prudence which would be exercised by a reasonably prudent person in managing his/her own property

avoid DELEGATION of duties involving judgment, discretion or power of appointment (proper administration)


COMPLY with terms & duties under trust

refrain from BORROWING funds from the trust (duty of loyalty)

SEGREGATING trust assets separately from personal assets
