KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Judicial Trustee
A judicial trustee is a trustee appointed by the court under the Judicial Trustee Act 1906. The trustee may act either alone or alongside other trustees and operates under the supervision of the court.
Unlike private trustees, a judicial trustee is considered an officer of the court and must comply strictly with judicial directions. The court also determines the trustee’s remuneration. In modern practice, this role has largely been replaced by the Public Trustee, who performs similar functions in managing trusts under official oversight.
