Legal Question in Family Law in California

My father has thrown my entire life away. We have a vacation home where I resided for over 2 years (10 acres + with many storage areas/buildings). I have since relocated out of state but due to my living situation, I have my things stored at the vacation home...nothing is out of place or order. Everything is boxed/crated, labeled etc. This is my entire home essentially packed in a storage unit. Yesterday I received pictures from a neighbor that my father threw all of my belongings away in a dumpster. What can I do? I called him to ask why and he just said it had to go. Why? He does not live at the property. It is in our family trust; therefore, we all (my brothers and myself) have rights to it.

I am not a teenager. I am the single mother of two. I went through a terrible divorce and am starting over--working full time and going back to school. He threw away all of my kids' memorabilia, family heirlooms, everything.

I am currently 1000 miles away and cannot afford a plane ticket to try and get there to try and save anything, if that is even possible. Please help?

Furthermore, what he has done is unforgivable. I will never forgive him for this. I now know what it is like for those who lost everything due to natural disasters, fires etc. but this was deliberate and done by my father.

You could have a friend or the neighbor move the stuff.
