What is the name of your state? Florida
Here is our situation... The Successor Trustee is one of the six Beneficiaries listed in a Trust. The Trust refers to a piece of property in the state of Maine and it clearly states that the sole responsibilty of the Successor Trustee is to transfer this property to the Beneficiaries absolutely and thereby terminate the Trust. The orignial Trustee passed away one year ago but the Successor Trustee will not transfer the property to the Beneficiaries. The Successor Trustee has attempted to convince the Beneficiaries to agree to sell the property directly from the Trust, without transferring, but not all of them are willing to do that. What steps should the Beneficiaries take to have the right and title of this property transferred from the Trust into their names? Is there a way to compel the Successor Trustee to transfer the property? Do we file a form ourselves (if yes, then where?) or do we need to involve a lawyer?
Thank you for your help!
