discharge him on such terms as it deems proper.

(2) On the application of any person interested in the trust estate,

to suspend or remove a trustee who has violated or threatens to violate

his trust, who is insolvent or whose insolvency is imminent or

apprehended or who for any reason is a person unsuitable to execute the

trust.

(3) In case of the resignation or removal of a trustee, to appoint a

successor trustee and, if there is no acting trustee, to cause the trust

to be executed by a receiver or other officer under its direction. This

suspension or removal of a trustee or the appointment of a successor

trustee.
