Typically, the settlor (i.e., the person who created and funded the trust) is the trustee until incapacity or death. Upon the settlor's incapacity, the successor trustee will need to obtain whatever certificates the trust document requires in order to establish incapacity and take authority.
The successor trustee may be the primary beneficiary of the trust. However, the successor trustee can be anyone you trust. For example, the successor trustee can be a close friend, an adult child, your spouse, your lawyer, an accountant, or a corporate trustee.
EXAMPLE: Caroline names her two children, Eugene and Vanessa, as successor trustees. She names a close friend, Nicole, as alternate successor trustee. When Caroline dies, Vanessa is ill and can't serve as trustee, so Eugene acts as sole successor trustee. If he becomes unable to serve, Nicole would take over.
Grantors can choose to nominate a close relative, family friend, or even financial institution to take on the role of Successor Trustee. A Grantor will name their Successor Trustee within a document called a Declaration of Trust, which is also where their role will be explained.
Successor trustees are typically granted immediate access to the assets held by the trust upon accepting their appointment; what they can do with these assets and their rights to withdraw money from a trust, however, are limited.
