Appointment of Successor Trustee for Irrevocable Trust (California)

This template can be used to appoint a successor trustee of an irrevocable trust (either an inter vivos trust or a testamentary trust created in a will after the testator's death) in California. It can be used when the acting trustee wishes to name a new trustee to take over in the event of their resignation, incapacitation, removal, or death. It can also be used when a person authorized in the trust instrument or will, or the adult beneficiaries of the trust, wish to name a successor trustee to act immediately.
