You would need to file a petition with the Court for a removal of the trustee. This would typically require proof of a breach of fiduciary duty on the trustee's part, such as self-dealing. As a beneficiary, moreover, you are entitled to information about the trust in a reasonable manner.
So that you know whether you have solid grounds for the trustee's removal, you should consult with an an attorney that handles disputed trust and estate matters. You are otherwise at risk of filing a petition that will go nowhere, and maybe even not raise a basis for removal that you simply didn't know existed.
