[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.]ORDER The parties are the settlors of a trust (the "Trust"), established pursuant to Trust Agreement dated May 18, 1990, for the benefit of their three children. Since that date, one or both of them have held and invaded funds representing the corpus of the Trust. As a result of disputes which have arisen between the parties regarding, inter alia, the administration of the trust funds, this Court, Kenefick, J., issued a Memorandum of Decision (the "Order"), dated January 30, 1998, directing the parties,inter alia, to agree to the appointment of a new trustee to replace themselves as trustees under the aforesaid Trust Agreement. The Court further ordered that, in the event the parties were unable to agree regarding the individual or entity to be named as the new trustee, it would remove the parties as trustees and appoint a new trustee in their stead. Finally, the Order provided, inter alia, that the parties could submit names to the Court for its consideration in the event they could not agree upon a new trustee. CT Page 5261
