A will and a trust are two different things, and they operate differently. One, the Will is administered in an estate that is supervised by the court. The Trust is handled by the trustee. The beneficiaries can take the trustee to court to account for his actions, and the court can replace him if he has not performed properly. So you and the other beneficiaries cannot vote him out, but you can ask the judge to do that for you. You will need the assistance of an attorney to accomplish that.
