Anyone can be a trustee, regardless of how junior or senior you are in your career, whether you're in paid employment or not, regardless of your ethnicity, class, gender orientation, sexuality or any other difference. Boards thrive when they have a diversity of skills, knowledge, age and experience on their board.
When establishing your trust, you must name at least one successor trustee in the event of your death to administer your assets. This is when you may consider appointing co-trustees, whether you have two or more in mind. A trustee may either be an individual or a financial institution.
