Generally speaking, the grantor/trustee/cotrustee all need them. Beneficiary and Successor Trustees do not (as they have no power over anything until the folks that do pass away). That being said, you could write a trust with bizarre verbiage that changed that. I saw a trust where the grantor was not a trustee, and was not a RP. I've also seen many folks that think their successor trustee can take the items out and buy use them. I've seen beneficiaries get mad when I refused a transfer to them.
If you want to try to understand the trust, read it in detail. If you want to know for sure on the wording of your trust--- consult a lawyer.
