Re: Breach of duties
You are legally liable with your brother as a joint trustee of the assets of the estate. Accordingly if the monies taken by your brother are not available to the beneficiaries you could be held personally liable.
I am afraid that if you are unable resolve matters with him there can be no alternative to referring matters to a Court. Let me know if we can help further.
