What do you do if a sibling is trustee of a living trust and you feel he may be using funds from the trust for his own use in California?
If possible you should discuss the situation with the trustor and ask to have the trustee removed. If that's not possible you could start by asking for an accounting by the trustee. You have an equitable interest in the trust property and the trustee is responsible while he is in charge. If you suspect that the trustee is borrowing against the trust, take him to court. Court's do not look favorably on self-dealing by a trustee and can remove the trustee if it finds the trustee is violating the trust. As a fiduciary the trustee is bound to do nothing that compromises anyone's rights under the trust. As a fiduciary the trustee has the obligation to grow the assets of the trust rather than waste them. If the trustee is making unsecured, no-interest loans to himself he is not making prudent decisions on behalf of the trust.
