Unlike a trustee who might be a family member or close friend, an independent trustee is a neutral party, usually with professional experience and expertise in law, finance, or trust administration.
Unlike an individual trustee, corporate trustees are monitored by independent and government entities and must maintain detailed records. This oversight promotes effective implementation of processes, procedures, and compliance with applicable regulations.
Are there risks being an independent trustee? Absolutely. Trustees have an unlimited and personal liability. An independent trustee is liable to the beneficiaries of the trust to ensure that the trust fund is being managed and invested in their best interests.
Impartiality: One of the significant benefits of having an independent trustee is their impartiality. They can make unbiased decisions that are in the best interest of the beneficiaries, avoiding family conflicts or biases that might arise with a trustee who is a family member or friend.
An independent trustee is an individual or a professional entity appointed to oversee and manage the assets held in a trust or estate. Their primary responsibility is to carry out the wishes and intentions of the grantor (the person creating the trust) as outlined in the trust document.

Generally, an executor administers the estate of the person who died, while a trustee administers a trust for the benefit of the named beneficiaries. A guardian makes decisions for minor children of the person who died or for an incapacitated adult.
Unlike trustees who have an interest in the trust, an independent trustee is more likely to be fair and equitable in making any decisions for the trust, due to lack of personal gain or personal benefit from such a decision.
