Re: Refinacing loans

I'd like to know a lot more about the details here, but it doesn't sound legal based on what you've said.

Even if it's not legal, I'm not sure you can bring a suit. Has this loan harmed you? Have the trustees enriched themselves or the trust by capitalizing on your work?

If the loan is illegal, then it seems that the bank would be the injured party -- especially if the loan isn't repaid. There might also be criminal liability for the trustees, depending on the specifics of their actions.

On the other hand, the facts might somehow indicate that the trustees are acting legally. I can't be more helpful without more information.

The loan may or may not be legal. It depends on what the moeny is being used for.

I need more details to render a proper opinion.
