If you think the trustee is violating the terms of the trust, you have the option of going to court and suing him and/or attempting to remove him. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss this further.

Re: trust fund

Your extra expenses may not be granted, but if you are due money from the trust, you will need to file something quickly to safeguard the money and get paid from the escrow. With a suit filed to get paid, your attorney can file a "lis pendens" on the remaining property to protect your interest.
