Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Bogus Trustees
How do you fight shyster attorneys who are trustees to your revocable trust? Knowing they have control of all your assets, preventing you from being able to hire another attorney to fight and fire them?

Most counties have low cost or sliding scale legal services available. Look in the yellow pages and/or call the local bar association.

Re: Bogus Trustees
The fact that the trust is revocable gives you a great deal of power. You should have the ability to revoke the trust thereby taking away any power that they have.
This is especially true if they are not carrying out the intent of the trust.
Let me know if you want to discuss the matter. My office is in Westlake Village.
