I am so sorry for your loss and for the situation as it stands. It is not a form really that you file. It is a Petition filed with the Probate Court to remove the Executor and it must be filed by someone that has an interest in the estate. But from what you have written he seems to be called the Trustee of the Trust. Again, you can file a Petition to remove him. I am going to give you a link to a form use in Santa Clara Superior Court. Take it to the court in which your proceeding is pendng and ask them if they have a similar form. Good luck. http://www.scscourt.org/forms_and_filing/forms/PB-4034.pdf
