Removal of trustee
Official statutory text
A. The settlor, a co-trustee, or a beneficiary may request the
court to remove a trustee, or a trustee may be removed by the court
on its own initiative.
B. The court may remove a trustee if:
1. The trustee has committed a serious breach of trust;
2. Lack of cooperation among co-trustees substantially impairs
the administration of the trust;
3. Due to unfitness, unwillingness, or persistent failure of
the trustee to administer the trust effectively, the court
determines that removal of the trustee best serves the interests of
the beneficiaries; or
4. There has been a substantial change of circumstances or
removal is requested by all of the qualified beneficiaries, the
court finds that removal of the trustee best serves the interests of
all of the beneficiaries and is not inconsistent with a material
purpose of the trust, and a suitable co-trustee or successor trustee
is available.
C. Pending a final decision on a request to remove a trustee,
or in lieu of or in addition to removing a trustee, the court may
order such appropriate relief under subsection B of Section 175.57
of Title 60 of the Oklahoma Statutes as may be necessary to protect
