trustees

Trustees are individuals or organizations responsible for managing assets or property held within a trust. They have a legal duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries—the people or entities designated to benefit from the trust. Trustees make decisions about how the assets are managed, invested, and distributed, following the terms set out in the trust document. Their role requires careful handling of the trust’s assets, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and maintaining the trust’s purpose. Essentially, trustees act as custodians and managers, overseeing the trust’s resources with fiduciary responsibility.
