I AGREE WITH DAVID THAT WHILE THIS IS PERMISSABLE, IT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THINGS. THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO HAVE MULTIPLE TRUSTEES, ALTHOUGH ONE MAY BE THE MANAGING TRUSTEE TO HANDLE DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES. THIS IS A RESPONSE TO AN INTERNET QUESTION AND THE REPLY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE LEGAL ADVICE OR AS CREATING AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. MISSING OR OMITTED FACTS MIGHT PRODUCE A DIFFERENT REPLY.
