A Trustee, as defined and regulated under the Texas Trust Code, is the fiduciary responsible for managing and administering trust assets in accordance with the trust’s terms and Texas law. A trustee must act with the highest duties of loyalty, prudence, and impartiality, protect and invest trust property wisely, keep accurate records, and make distributions solely in the best interests of the beneficiaries. Failure to uphold these fiduciary obligations can result in personal liability and court-imposed remedies.
