[edit] University Board of Trustees
I tried to link to this page to describe someone as a member of the board of Trustees for UNC. But there's nothing here to explain that. Is anyone aware of another page for that usage of Trustee? -Jcbarr 18:21, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Try Trust (law) USA or Charitable trust. Def here does fit as benificeries are student/general public. --Salix alba (talk) 20:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How do you get rid of a trustee?
If they are not doing their job and have made several mistakes, how do you appoint someone else? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Law Lady (talk • contribs) 2 Sept 06.
- Step 1 read the constitution, different orginisations have different rules. Step 2, make sure you have sufficient number of people on the board/candidates willing to take on the role, a charity with an inquorate board, is severely limited in its actions. Step 3, talk to the people concerned, they may be struggling. You may be able to hold an AGM, in fact there should be one each year. If things are really serious you can talk to the Charity Commission. --Salix alba (talk) 17:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What is the difference
Between appointing someone as a Trustee and granting them Power of Attorney?FredHerbert 09:25, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Broadly, a power of attorney grants the attorney-in-fact specific power to do certain acts on behalf of (and in the name of) the grantor, but it is a purely personal power. To constitute someone as your trustee, you must actually transfer the property to them, and they hold the property in their own name and manage it as your trustee. However, the law regulates both activities on a fiduciary basis. --Legis (talk - contribs) 17:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article bias
The article is heavily systemically biased toward a US and, to a lesser extent, a UK point of view. The first 2/3 of the article applies largely to the USA but there is no mention of this in the article text. There is no exploration of how this term is used outside of the USA/UK or how it was used historically in these countries (e.g. city trustees). — AjaxSmack 03:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
