Nope. The trustee. There'd be someone appointed to oversee the assets of the trust and then convey it for consideration to a willing buyer who would keep the team in Seattle.

I'm beginning to lean toward Schultz's law suit being thrown out. The trust would just put the whole team in limbo with no end in sight. Plus, what do they do with paying back Bennett's group for what they have been out so far? Does Schultz give them back their money? If not I can bet you that would go to the Supreme Court before it's settled.
I think it'll be thrown out, but not for the reasons you think it'll be thrown out.
