Directed Trustee Clause Samples
A Directed Trustee clause establishes that the trustee of a trust must act according to the instructions of a specified party, often called a trust director or protector. In practice, this means the trustee is not making independent decisions on certain matters, such as investments or distributions, but instead follows the directions given by the designated individual or committee. This arrangement allows for specialized oversight or control by someone with particular expertise or the settlor’s confidence, ensuring that the trust is managed in line with specific wishes or strategies while limiting the trustee’s liability for actions taken under direction.
