What can I do if my brother is executor of the family trust and is not telling me anything and has taken some things from the estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
You have a right to be kept reasonably informed, and also the right to periodic accountings. By the way, your brother might be executor of the estate or [successor] trustee of the trust, but executor of the trust does not exist. The rules for the two are different. Hire a lawyer.
