Terminating an active trust requires court intervention or unanimous beneficiary consent. A party with legal standing must demonstrate compelling reasons for a judge to order dissolution, or alternatively, all beneficiaries must concur on ending the trust, ensuring adherence to the trust's purpose and legal procedures.

Only the trustee can close the trust account. Check the bank's requirements for closing accounts to see what documentation you need to bring with you, usually personal identification and any papers you received when you first set up the trust account.

The trustee can also request their own removal voluntarily if they believe they are not fit for the role. Essentially, anyone named in the trust document or (if all persons named are deceased) anyone who is a personal representative of the estate may request the removal.
