Pooh! I should have asked you first; I should have known you'd know. :-) My hero.

It's already specified, for that very reason. While it wasn't recent--about 60 years ago--we had a situation in my own family, with our main family trust, driven by that very issue. Not, oddly enough, what everybody thinks of--the old "two people in a car crash" scenario, but one sister died from cancer and the other, her sister, died abruptly from a brain aneurysm within hours of each other. (In our fam, for...a very long time, let's just say, the trustees are always female.)
The designated new trustee was different, depending on which died first, yadda and trust me, the family was NOT happy at all with one of those two choices. Thus, our family has a lot of very specific, very careful language in every will, in every family member.
Of course--sigh--I've just said that and lo....everybody but me is now dead. I look at the trust and think...
why'd we bother?
