What if the executor of a living trust spends all the money that was in a bank account to maintain the estate for his own personal use Now there is no money to maintain the estate.What can be done?
A living trust has a Trustee (not an executor). You can bring a lawsuit against the Trustee. In the lawsuit the trustee will have to show what was done with the money, and the court will judge whether it is against the law or not. The trustee has a fiduciary responsibility and if that is violated, and there is proof, the trustee will lose the lawsuit and you will win damages.

Yes. There is a lot of work involved in being a trustee. The trustee needs to keep an account of all the money coming into the trust and all the money going out. The trustee must be extremely careful to not co-mingle their own funds with the funds of the trust or pay any of their own bills with trust funds. The account books for the trust should be made available to the trustor and the beneficiaries of the trust.

What does it mean when someone has a savings account in their name but also has someone else's name on the account in trust?
When someone's name is on an account, it means they own the money in the account and have access to the account. When someone's name is on the account as beneficiary or "in trust for", it means they have future ownership of the funds in the case that the owner dies. Until that happens, the beneficiary has no ownership or access to the funds or information about the account. Sometimes, the trustee doesn't even know they are on the account as beneficiary. Example: "John Smith as trustee for Timmy Smith" or "John Smith in trust for Timmy Smith" John is owner, and has access. He is also known as "Trustee" Timmy is beneficiary, has no ownership or access until death of John Smith hope that helps * * * The trustee or owner of the money doesn't necessarily have to die for the beneficiary to gain access to the funds. Sometimes it is the Trustee's duty to release a little money at a time, over time. The point being the Trustee is in a position of trust having a "fiduciary duty" to the beneficiary, in this example the duty of releasing the money according to the owners wishes. The Trustee administrates the Trust, and might not be a beneficiary at all. The beneficiary has ownership under the law "in equity." The Trustee has ownership in common law until his fiduciary duties have been discharged. That said, Trust Law is a very unsettled branch of the law.
