A trust is managed by an appointed executor who manages the funds. A "power of attorney" simply gives someone permission to act on your behalf in legal affairs because you are absent or in dispose. You grant power of attorney to another person for these purposes. This is not the case with the executor of a trust.

A power of attorney is typically required when the trust involves money for the use of a minor. This will depepend on the circumstances and where you live.
