What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I have what I hope is a very quick, non-complicated question. LOL
My father recently passed and the trust before irrevocable, and my younger brother is now the trustee. He, along with my older brother and myself are the only beneficiaries to the trust assets. Due to a complete breakdown of our dysfunctional family, there is no communication happening between the three of us. Younger brother, trustee, has retained a legal firm for representation in closing out and dissolving the trust.
My question, my younger brother, the trustee, has starting giving away and disposing of assets of the trust. Items such as household goods, electronic equipment, tools, etc. Is he allowed to do that without asking or informing the other beneficiaries first? There are some items that are specifically listed (as attachments to the trust) as to their distribution. The majority of items do not have a clear "destination".
(The trust was set up as a pretty standard trust with nothing unusual as far as I can tell.)
Thank you in advance.
