Yes. However, they may not be a good choice. Trusteeship is an office that requires a trustworthy, capable person who can manage trust funds to the benefit of the beneficiaries. If a person has mismanaged their own money to the point of bankruptcy they may not be a good choice for a trustee where they will be given complete control over trust funds.

Yes. When a person is named as a trustee there is generally an acceptance executed by the trustee and filed with the trust. You only need to make if known you do not wish to serve and the trustor can name a different trustee.

How do you get your chapter 7 bankruptcy case dismissed when you have no attorney clerk was unable to help?

You will need to file a "motion to dismiss." Don't forget to serve your motion on the trustee and us trustee. Unfortunitely, you do not have a "right" to dismiss your case. The court will typically set a hearing to hear your reason for the request. Don't be surprised if your trustee objects to the dismissal if there are assets. (They receive a percentage of the value liquidated). The court may also dismiss your case if you have not complied with all of the filing or fee requirements.

Will set up a trust but trust was not funded can the executor raid the estate to fund fees for himself as trustee?

No, he cannot. The offices of testamentary trustee and exutor are separate and distinct from one another even if the same person is to serve as both. Compensation for a trustee comes out of the funds in the trust for work done by the trustee on behalf of the trust. If the trust is unfunded, there are no assets out of which to pay fees to the trustee. Also, if the trust is unfunded then the trustee has done nothing to earn any trustee fees. Compensation of trustees and executors is governed by state laws, so it is important to check the laws of the state of probate for the details.
