When a trustee dies, a successor trustee usually takes over the administration of the trust.

The decedent didn't own the property if it was transferred to a trust. The property is owned by the trust and is managed by the trustee.

If you still have questions you need to consult with an attorney who can review the trust and explain your options.

Trust deed leaves property to 4 adult children Both parents have now passed away If one of four dies who would receive their share?
A trust deed conveys property to a trustee who then holds title to the property according to the provisions of the trust. You need to examine the provisions of the trust document to determine who the beneficiaries are. If the house is the only property in the trust you need to read the actual trust document to determine who the beneficiaries are as recited in the trust document. That trust document controls what the trustee may do with the property and who will inherit a deceased beneficiary's interest. If the trust doesn't mention what will happen if one of the siblings dies then perhaps the trust gives the power to the trustee to convey the property by a deed TO the four siblings. You could then decide how it will be held by the four of you. If the trust states the property should ge distributed to the four children upon the death of the parents then the trustee can convey the property to the four children by deed. If that deed recites that the grantees will hold the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and one dies, her share will pass to the remaining siblings. If that deed recites that the grantees shall hold as tenants in common and one dies, her share goes to HER heirs. Therefore, if you get a deed from the trustee passing title to you then you can decide for yourselves how title will be held. If the trust doesn't give the trustee the power to sell then the trust will need to be modified by judge so the property can be conveyed to the heirs. In any case, you should seek legal advice from a probate/real estate attorney to straighten this matter out for you. This situation is subject to your own state laws.

If the trustee has died a new trustee needs to be appointed to make the distribution. The trust document should also have provisions for the appointment of a successor trustee.

You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how a new trustee must/can be appointed. A beneficiary/trustee invalidates a trust in many jurisdictions and may make the trust property vulnerable to creditors. You should contact the attorney who drafted the trust.
