The real property is titled in the name of the estate. I am the trustee of the estate. The tenant leasing the property has been directly sending each of the two beneficiaries the monthly rent money. The estate has no cash for me as the trustee (non benificiary ) to properly manage the estate. How do I force the tenant to deposit the monthly rent money to the bank account that is in the name of the estate? I’ve written him a letter requesting he do so, but he is uncooperative. I would lend my own funds to hire an attorney, but If he refuses to deposit the funds I will not be paid back for the cost of the attorney. The estate holds a fifty percent ownership in this commercial real property located in Hawaii. The owner who owns the other fifty percent has filed a lawsuit against me for breaching my fiduciary duty by not closing the trust which is “clouding his title” to the property. I figure the first place I need to start is by getting the tenant to deposit the fifty percent share of the properties monthly rent directly to name of the estate and go from there. Please help
