2006 Georgia Code - 53-12-55

53-12-55. The trustee or trustees of a trust created under Code Section 53-12-51 shall have sole and exclusive management and control of the property, in accordance with the terms of the deed creating the estate. The exercise by the trustee or trustees of any power granted or conferred by the deed, including the power to lease, encumber, and sell, when exercised in accordance with the terms thereof, shall be as valid and effective to all intents and purposes as if the trustee or trustees were the sole and exclusive owners of the property in his or their own right. The trustee or trustees may resign or be removed and their successors may be appointed in the manner and in accordance with the terms fixed by the deed creating the estate. The same rights, powers, and title over and to the property shall belong to and be vested in the new trustee or trustees as are conferred upon the original trustee or trustees by the deed creating the estate. The death of a trustee shall not operate to cast title upon his heirs, devisees, executors, or administrators, but the same shall vest in his successor, when appointed.
