Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Trust question
I am almost the sole beneficiary of
a straightforward trust which puts
in place my cousin as the Trustee.
The family located a plateful of felonies which include 12 - 15 alias's, 3 forgery convictions, etc.
The presiding atty. was provided
all the evidence necessary to remove him as trustee and even
agreed that the denials coming from
him looked pretty lame. But, this was almost a month ago with our
cousin still handling all of the funds.
To me it is nothing more than Colonel Sanders taking care of the chickens. The atty. suggests we seek an atty. My thoughts are, in this timeframe the balance could be
almost zero'd out. If that is the case and the atty was basically lazy, can they be sued for the monies that are lost? What recourse does a person have against an unethical atty?

So you don't have your own attorney, you're being robbed blind, and so far you're not doing anything about the situation except whining.

You can sue your attorney if he or she is negligent in pursuing your legal claims.
