Life assurance

I have a life assurance in trust. The trustees are myself and my brother.  If I die he’s the sole trustee which I’m wanting. Is this ok?  I heard that having just one trustee could void an insurance and other than myself and I am the one insured he’d be the only trustee in the trust and the beneficiary.

    It wont void it.  It just makes it risier if something happens to you.  Appointing a new additional trustee is common sense.

    For reference, this is the missale section.  Not the insurance section.
