Impartiality
Where a trust has two or more beneficiaries, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 36C-8-803 provides that the trustee acts impartially in investing, managing and distributing the trust property, giving due regard to the beneficiaries' respective interests.
Settling by agreement
The interested persons — those whose consent a court-approved settlement would need — may enter into a binding nonjudicial settlement agreement on five listed matters: approving a trustee's report or accounting; directing or empowering the trustee; a trustee's resignation, appointment or compensation; moving the principal place of administration; and liability for those actions (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 36C-1-111). Mediation, arbitration and other dispute resolution are among the trustee's powers (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 36C-8-816(23)).
The clerk of superior court
The clerks of superior court have original jurisdiction over proceedings concerning the internal affairs of trusts — appointing and removing trustees, reviewing fees, settling accounts and determining questions of administration — with the construction questions movable to the superior court (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 36C-2-203). A contested proceeding is docketed as an estate matter, with a summons to answer within 20 days (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 36C-2-205(a)).
Removal and remedies
The court may remove a trustee for a serious breach, a lack of cooperation among co-trustees that substantially impairs the administration, unfitness, unwillingness or persistent failure to administer effectively, or a substantial change of circumstances where removal serves all the beneficiaries and a suitable successor is available (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 36C-7-706). To remedy a breach the court may, among other things, compel performance, order an account, appoint a special fiduciary or reduce compensation (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 36C-10-1001).
