“the court, under the order of which any (such) fiduciary derives his authority,”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“whenever for any cause it appears proper.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Generally, the removal of a trustee is within the reasonable discretion of the court. More is required to remove a trustee appointed by the creator of the trust than is required to remove one appointed by the court. In all cases the real guide is whether or not it is best for the trust estate that the trustee be removed. Friction between the trustee and the beneficiary is not in itself sufficient ground for removal. Some beneficial end must be achieved by the removal or it will not be justified. Restatement, Trust, § 107; Bogert, Trusts and Trustees, vol. 3, § 527.”
