Can a trust card withdraw cash?
The role of a "trustee" and the role of an "heir" (beneficiary) are legally distinct, but it is entirely possible for one person to serve in both capacities simultaneously. A trustee is a fiduciary responsible for managing the assets according to the trust document, whereas a beneficiary is the person entitled to receive the benefits or assets of the trust. If the trust document dictates that assets are to be distributed to you, you will inherit those assets regardless of whether you are also the person managing the trust. Being the trustee does not automatically grant you the right to inherit the assets, nor does it disqualify you from receiving them. Everything depends on the specific language in the trust instrument. You must separate your duties: when acting as trustee, you must follow the document's instructions without bias, even if you are also a beneficiary. If the document says the assets are for you, you "inherit" them through the distribution process, but you are not inheriting them "as the trustee"—you are inheriting them as the named beneficiary.
