100: Acts of trustee not invalidated by defect in appointment
"What a trustee does is still valid even if they weren't appointed correctly"
If you are a trustee, something you do as a trustee is not invalid just because there was a problem with how you were appointed. This means that even if there was an issue with the process of making you a trustee, the things you do as a trustee are still valid. You can still make decisions and take actions as a trustee, and those actions are not automatically cancelled out because of a problem with your appointment.
