REMOVAL OF A TRUSTEE OF A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR DYNASTY TRUST FOR BREACH OF DUTY

The patriarch of a wealthy New Jersey family created and generously funded a dynasty trust, the income of which was to be distributed by the three trustees to charity for several decades and thereafter the income and principal became available to be distributed to the family in amounts and at times to be decided by the trustees.
