What to do about self-dealing by a trustee?
My mom had a trust drawn up; she then passed away 7 years ago. I have now found out that one of the named trustee’s changed my moms wishes and put the money in his name, as well as changed the beneficiary. Is this legal? I was the benificury and now I’m not. Both trustee’s on the documents were not notified of the changes nor was I. There is money in this trust no small stuff. What should my next move should be? I have copies of original trust.
