What is the name of your state? Hawaii
Several years ago, my mom created an irrevocable trust (with her house being part of this trust) and named my sister the executor of the trust. A few years later, my sister decided to move into this house with my mom. She pays no rent, doesn’t help with the bills and is basically intolerable to live with to put it mildly. But before I judge her too harshly, I have to also add that I believe mental illness plays a part of this but probably not so much so that she could be deemed mentally unfit to fulfill her duties as executor. (Sister also refuses to seek help for what I believe to be some sort of mental condition.) Also, my sister wasn’t like this when my mom named her the executor, she used to be responsible and my mom had no reason to suspect that things would turn out this way. My mom cannot stand living with my sister but my sister won’t leave, won’t get a job or contribute to the household and just argues with my mom all day. My mom has tried to get the trust changed in order to name my brother the executor but can’t because my sister won’t sign the necessary papers to do so. Is there any way at all to get this trust changed without my sister’s consent and/or can my mother evict my sister from this house when my sister is the executor?
