Trustee's Powers

A trustee’s powers are the legal authorities granted to manage and control a trust’s assets. These powers enable them to make decisions, buy or sell property, invest funds, and handle expenses in the best interest of the beneficiaries. Trustees must act prudently, follow the terms of the trust, and prioritize the beneficiaries’ interests. While they have significant control, their powers are limited by the trust document and law, ensuring responsible management and safeguarding the assets until they are properly distributed.
