(1) The settlor, a cotrustee, or a beneficiary may request the court to remove a trustee,

or a trustee may be removed by the court on its own initiative.

(2) The court may remove a trustee if:

(a) The trustee has committed a breach of trust;

(b) Lack of cooperation among cotrustees substantially impairs the administration

of the trust;

(c) Because of 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;

(d) 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 cotrustee or successor trustee is

available; or

(e) For a wholly charitable trust, removal is requested by all of the qualified

beneficiaries, notice is given to the Attorney General, and the court finds that

removal of the trustee best serves the interests of all of the beneficiaries. This

provision shall not limit the rights of the Attorney General under any common

law or statutory law of this Commonwealth.

(3) 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 KRS

386B.10-010(2) as may be necessary to protect the trust property or the interests of

the beneficiaries.
