Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: untrustworthy executor

If the creator of the instrument is still alive, there is not a lot you can do.

Is this a trust or a will? It sounds like the person who created the instrument is still alive, is this correct? If so, then they can make changes, unless it is an irrevocable instrument.

I must add, however, that from what you wrote I can only surmise that there is a trust and the Settlor (the creator) is also a beneficiary, which is a little odd in itself. Smells of an attempt to evade taxes to me.
