Re: Having the courts appoint a conservator
Well that depends. Are your parents still alive? Are they competent? If not, and if the Trustee is wasting the assets of the estate, you can sue the trustee for an accounting and ask that he be removed and another trustee appointed by the court.
Get the assistance of an attorney. If you are successful you should get the court to have attorneys fees reimbursed by the trust.

Depending on the terms of the trust as well as the violations you refer to, then yes, that is a power that a beneficiary possesses.
