1. The court in which the administration is pending may, at any time before final distribution of the trust, appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy in the office of trustee under the will, whether resulting from death, declination, resignation, removal or otherwise, if the appointment is necessary to carry out the trust. A person who is named in the will to fill the vacancy has priority for appointment.

3. The court may appoint a temporary trustee without notice if necessary to preserve the trust estate.
