Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Newly discovered assets after estate closed
my parents died 1997 and 2002; bitter feelings amongst beneficiaries. grandchild of deceased (my child) filed against liv trust. professional fiduciary firm appointed; mediation was ordered. my child withheld from mediation negotiations info on $50,000 TD (1998) against her husband's house given to my father for a loan (did not find out about this until 6 mo ago) Estate settled & court relieved fiduciaries of duties. when I found out, I contacted fiduciary, asking them to re-open estate & re-title the Trust deed, or whatever was applicable. They refused saying they were finished. I am 1/3 beneficiary. it this feasible for me to go in pro per or to pay a flat fee to have an atty re-open? interest on note was not specified; would it be at 10% Please advise

Probably, but not for a flat fee. This would require some complex litigation skills. My hourly right now is $200 -- same as 2005.
