You are not going to find anything under Michigan law or any other state that addresses your question because it literally attempts to combine oranges and apples. By that I mean that there are laws that apply to trusts and there are laws that apply to the probate of a decedent’s estate. The have entirely different application, principles and moreover, different terminology. For instance you write, “the executor of the trust”. But there is no such animal as the executor of a trust. The title of the office responsible for the administration of a Trust is called the Trustee. The duties and responsibilities of a Trustee are spelled out in the instrument that creates the Trust. The duties and responsibilities of an Executor of a decedent’s estate are to administer and distribute the estate in accordance with the testator’s expressed wishes and within the bounds of applicable probable law. Perhaps you could restate your question by setting forth the relevant facts. It is not answerable in its present form. Sax
