OPINION OF THE COURT
Renee R. Roth, S.
The trustees of the trust established under the will of William Rockefeller ask the court to allow the corporate trustee, the Chase Manhattan Bank (now known as JP Morgan Chase Bank), to resign in favor of its affiliate, JP Morgan Trust Company of Delaware, and to change the situs of the trust to the State of Delaware. By order dated May 15, 2002, the request for the change of corporate trustee was granted. The sole issue remaining is whether under the circumstances presented changing the situs of the trust is also warranted.
