Re: substitution of atty

He has to sign the substitution of attorney form, but if he's trustee, it may take a court order to remove him as trustee. This is a separate matter from being the attorney. You can ask him to resign, and also demand the trust information under Probate Code Section 16061. If he doesn't comply, it may be worth bringing a petition to have a new trustee appointed.
