Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: estate (trust) law

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Reasonableness varies based on the circumstances. If you do not feel the trustee is doing his or her job properly, you can petition the court to have him or her removed. The chances are that if the trustee is doing an honest job but perhaps not diligently, this will be enough to get his or her attention to move the matter along.
