Different kinds of Trustees

Colorado - I know that an Independent Trustee is one not affiliated with a bank. And a Successor Trustee is one who takes over the trust after the death of the owner. But what's the difference between then?

I have a Revocable Trust account and an Irrevokable Trust Account that were left to me when my Dad died. My CPA will be the Trustee and I am Co-Trustee. What kind of Trustee will the CPA be?

If the trust instrument is correctly drawn up, the powers of the trustees (all of them) will be listed.

Your state statutes may also give trustees certain powers.
