You would have to provide more detail. I'm assuming that the trust is your parents' trust. If they are deceased, it is not irrevocable. You would have to provide a copy of the trust instrument, which may provide on what grounds you could remove the trustee. The court may remove a trustee, once you file the appropriate petition, if that trustee's service is detrimental to the trust such as unfitness, refusal to account, a donvlict of interest, etc. I suggest you speak in person to a probate attorney.
