A Settlor has transferred his immovable properties by Will to a testamentary Trust upon his death and he has further allowed his appointed Trustee to sell off his assets when certain conditions are reached.
Then if such conditions have been reached before probate of this Will, then can this Trustee dispose of the aforesaid assets without going into the hassles of probating the Will. To be noted here is that the Trustee is also the sole beneficiary of the Trust and he has also "accepted" the Will/Trust conditions.
Or, is the probate mandatory before disposing of the Trust properties???
