A trustee must manage the trust and its assets properly, investing with diligence and prudence. 

 Choosing the trustees is your most important act when forming your trust.  You should also consider what your trust is likely to own when selecting your trustees.  

When approached regarding the role of trustee, you should consider this position carefully as the position of the trustee is not one to be accepted lightly.
