(2) If a trustee retires or is removed or dies while in office and it is not necessary to replace the trustee (because the number of remaining trustees meets or exceeds the minimum number specified in the terms of the trust), a person with the power to appoint trustees may, but need not, appoint a replacement trustee. (3) The appointment of a trustee to replace a trustee who has been removed takes effect only when the removal takes effect under section 107(2) or (3) , 108(2) , or 112 .
