There is a good article available through The Academy of Special Needs Planners regarding the commingling of trust assets with personal accounts. Although the example used in the article might be extreme, it illustrates some of the issues that can arise.

In this example the culprits are unfortunately the disabled individuals parents, but it could have just as easily been anyone fulfilling the trustee role. Parents not only need to think through who the contingent trustee will be, but also how a checks and balances system will be maintained to protect the trust beneficiary.
There is not a question that the recordkeeping responsibilities that go along with the role of trustee can be cumbersome, but it is clear that the task is vital to both the sustainability of the trust and the underlying care provided by the trust.
