Estates and trusts are not within my areas of expertise but
I would describe this process as "distributing the assets in
the trust and closing the trust."

Why is the answer important? Or are you just curious?

Regards,

It doesn't matter what kind of trust it is. As someone else
already noted, the best is "administer the trust."

I neglected to say that this is an Estate Planning Trust.

When someone dies, we speak of "probating his estate".

I am looking for similar terminology that describes the
process of distributing the assets in the trust and closing
the trust.

once a trust is created, the trustee must "follow the terms
of the trust", both before and after any relevant death.

What is called when you follow the terms of a trust
after the grantor dies? "Execute the trust"? "Execute
the terms of the trust"? Both? Something else?
