Hi Castle,

In a deed of trust, a trustee is an independent third party that holds the legal title till the terms of the deed is fulfilled by the trustor and the beneficiary. A trustee does not represent either the trustor or the beneficiary. Thus, you cannot have your relative as the trustee. The trustee has to be someone who is neither related to you nor the lender.

The lender was the one who choose the trustee when I refinance, can I change the trustee later on?

Hi Marilou,

It will be the lender's discretion whether or not he will allow you to change the trustee later on. You should have a word with your lender in this regard.
