A Successor Trustee, authorized under Texas Trust Code Chapter 113, is the individual or institution designated to assume responsibility for managing and administering a trust when the original trustee is unable or unwilling to continue serving due to resignation, incapacity, removal, or death. The successor trustee steps into all fiduciary duties of the original trustee, ensuring continuous, faithful management of the trust according to its terms and in the best interests of the beneficiaries.
