Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
legal recourse with trustee /attorney
If a client has proof of counselor and trustee withholding funds from
beneficiary, can the police do anything if reported? If not, what can be done since money was depleted by said attorney. I'm talking about breech of trust and other borderline criminal things. things. (Scandalous Los Angeles)

I'm not sure the Police will do anything about it, they would probably tell you it is a civil matter and not a criminal one.
If you have documentary evidence, we may be able to assist you. Obviously, without seeing the trust and the documents, I can not give you an opinion, especially on a public forum, but if you would like to contact me at the email address provided by LawGuru or through our firm's site, No-Probate.com, we can discuss this further and see what, if anything, we can help you with.

You could try writing to the district attorney, the L.A.D.A. has a unit just to go after fraud by officers of the court. But a private attorney might be a better option.
