Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

From the little that you said, it does not seem that the trustee would have any liability toward you. Even if he intentionally misrepresented things to you, you would also have to show that you had been damaged. The more interesting question is whether you can have the second trust set aside (i.e. have the assets distributed under the first trust that included you) based on some problems with the execution of the second trust. You should talk with a lawyer about protecting your rights ASAP. If we can help, please do not hesitate to call.
