Should a check be payable to the Trust only or Trustee too?

A check should generally be made payable to the Trust, as the Trust itself is the legal entity that holds the assets. However, in some cases, it may also be appropriate to include the Trustee's name, especially if the Trustee needs to endorse the check for deposit or management purposes. Always consult the Trust's governing documents or a legal professional for specific guidance tailored to your situation.
