Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
I need help in filing a unlimited jurisdiction civil case that is in excess of $300,000. it is related to embezzlement of a trust issued to a minor. There is fraud, forgery, and breach of contract involved as well. I am not sure how to proceed with filing the paperwork to include all of these complaints.

Many attorneys will take such a case on a contingency basis, meaning they will work for a percentage of the amount recovered. This type of case can be complex and difficult to prove; you would be better off having an attorney handle it for you, rather than trying to go it alone.
I agree that you should hire an attorney. Preferably someone knowledgeable in Trust Administration and Probate law. If the trust was court approved, the proper venue might be the local probate court.
