Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more. Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses the main duties and powers of trustees. Rather than rigidly separating duties and powers, it presents the duties and powers of trustees in a way which reflects how they might arise during the operation of a trust. It first addresses the initial questions of the appointment, removal, and payment of trustees. It then examines issues arising on appointment to the trust and the fiduciary nature of trustees’ duties. Finally, it examines issues likely to arise during the administration of the trust, including the trustees’ powers of investment, beneficiaries’ right to information about the trust, and trustees’ powers of maintenance and advancement.
