A trust is a private legal contract between 2 or more celebrations, where a third party holds title to the trust property for the benefit of another. There are several types of trusts that have various functions, and the trust contract determines who has the authority to withdraw funds from the trust and for what purpose the funds might be used.

Trustees Can Withdraw For Trust Use
Trust law differs from one state to another, but under no situations can a trustee withdraw funds from the trust for the personal use of the trustee. The trustee of any trust has a fiduciary obligation to follow the terms of the trust arrangement and to ensure paid out funds are not contrary to the purpose mentioned in the trust arrangement.
