Trust Law Article 36
Except where the trust act provides otherwise, a trustee shall not resign without the consent of both the settlor and the beneficiary; provided that the approval of the court may be sought if the resignation can be justified by any factor beyond one's control.Upon the breach by the trustee of his obligations or upon the occurrence of any material event, the court may, upon application of the settlor or beneficiary, remove the trustee.Except where the trust act provides otherwise, the settlor may, under any of the circumstances provided in the preceding two paragraphs, appoint a new trustee. In case a new trustee cannot be appointed or in case the appointment is not made, the court may, upon application of interested party or a prosecutor, appoint a new trustee; in addition, necessary official actions may also be taken.A trustee who has resigned shall still have the rights and obligations of a trustee before the new trustee can render trust services.
