A cotrustee is a trustee that is jointly appointed, along with another individual or entity, to manage a trust agreement. This agreement defines the management of assets held in trust on behalf of its beneficiary.<\/p>\n
Cotrustees work together to ensure that the assets of the trust are being preserved, managed, and distributed efficiently and safely according to the terms of the trust agreement. The trustee can make decisions in their individual capacity when it comes to investments, and also work in concert with their fellow trustee.<\/p>\n
Modern cotrustees may include representatives of a financial institution, such as a bank or broker, or individual family members or close advisors. Each cotrustee must serve in the best interests of the trust and have the same legal authority as the other trustee.<\/p>\n
For example, if a parent creates a trust to provide for the well-being of their children, they would appoint a cotrustee: a trusted family member or financial adviser who could manage the trust if the parent were no longer able to do so.<\/p>\n
A cotrustee is an important position that serves to protect and manage the assets of a trust. With two individuals or entities sharing this responsibility, the trust’s assets are kept safe and secure in the best interests of its beneficiary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
