How do I manage my trust?

My first response is, who are the Trustees of the Trust?  Those persons (or entity if a corporate Trustee is designated) have sole legal authority to administer the Trust.

Where there is a trust, there is a trust agreement. Locate the trust agreement and it should have detailed instructions for the trustees and information for the benificiaries. The instructions should mirror the statutory language which sets out the powers and responsibilities of trustees. At times these instructions can be confusing and unclear, in which case a lawyer can be very helpful in explaining what the trustees can and should do.
