Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Motive behind extreme actions
On a straightforward Trust Agreement, what would be the attorneys benefit in not giving me a copy of the deed to the house which I am the life resident. Upon my death it goes to the trustee. Trustee has the deed. And why would same attorney have her name on a ''Welcome to the Neighborhood'' mailing sent to my house. The house is paid for - nice area and both attorney and Trustee
are anxious to sell. Both have had a good time dividing my money that I was to get. When I asked for accounting, funds were spent on expensive dinners, fancy soaps and loofah sponges, expensive vitamins and travel, trustees kids traveling - expensive car rentals - just to show a few examples. I can't afford another attorney. The last one ate up all the money and only wrote a couple of letters. Any advice? I was thinking of going to the Bar. I would like to do something about this. Trustee is the one that has a criminal record of forgery, receipt of stolen property, etc. I am the only beneficiary in this (other than Trustee acquiring my residence). This attorney screwed up the title so badly that I have to get Rental Insurance in addition to Home Owners. My items are not covered under Home Owners. Yet I still cannot see the deed.

Re: Motive behind extreme actions

You can acquire a copy of any recorded deed by going to the Recorder's Office of the county in which the property is located.

If you cannot afford an attorney, there are low-cost legal services in most counties. Look in the yellow pages or call the county Bar Association.

If you have a complaint about any attorney, you may contact the California Bar Association. Go to the website at
