The Trustees tab displays current and former trustees for the trust.

There can be multiple trustees of a trust made up of individual people or a company (corporate trustee). The trustee's role is to hold the trust property for the benefit of the beneficiaries.

A trustee can also be a beneficiary, but they can't be the only beneficiary unless there are multiple trustees.
