Is your Trustee Fit to be Trustee of your Florida Trust?

You know, in Florida we have a Florida trust code beneficiaries. So if you’re trying to remove your trustee, you may be able to remove your trustee if there’s an issue of fitness. If that trustee is not fit to serve, you may be able to remove that person.

What does fitness mean? Fitness means whether somebody is suitable, beyond acceptable, to serve in that position. You should also talk to your probate or trust litigation attorney about 736.0706.

That’s the specific statute for a way that beneficiaries can remove their trustee. And you better have a lot of evidence about why your trustee is not fit to serve.
