Abstract: This Casebrief examines the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania’s decision in Trust Under Agreement of Taylor and argues that the court narrowly limited beneficiaries’ ability to remove corporate trustees by holding that trustee removal must proceed exclusively under Section 7766 of the Uniform Trust Act. The Casebrief contends that the decision reinforces traditional deference to settlor intent while highlighting continuing concerns about the power imbalance between corporate trustees and beneficiaries.
