Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Question? I took my brother and sister to mediation before probate. We came to a equal medium. The deal was my brother had two yrs to pay our share of the house (moved into my parents house that we all grew up in) if he didnt come up with the money I was going to take the note off a 4 plex my mom (deceased) and him went in on together. This property was still in the living will of trust. two yrs go by and all of sudden my attorney is giving me the run around telling me he is going to get the note but he cant get a hold of my brothers attorney. this goes on and on for over a yr. so i come to find out that my attorney never filed with the courts on the note for the 4 plex and now i cant get ahold of him. finally get the note and all it is is a piece of paper. My brother is filing bankrupt and find out while the 4 plex is still in the living trust my brother took 2 loans out on it. hope this makes sense . Now what do i do?

it doesn't make a great deal of sense- you need to have an attorney look at all the relevant paperwork in order to give a valid opinion as to what, if any, recourse you have.
