It has been 2 years since my GM died and the trustee (her attorney) has still not settled the trust. no debts, tax filed, is this legal?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
You may want to request that accounting, if only as a prompt, and, if it is not timely provided, ask the court to replace the trustee. A Florida trust lawyer can advise you on whether Florida trust law or the language of this particular trust requires that final distributions be made by a certain date.

What should I do if my trust that was left to me by my grandfather has been embezzled by two trustees and an attorney I hired?

Answered by attorney Ernest Joon Kim (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ernest J. Kim
Any action against a trustee and their agents will be dealt with in a court action, and court records are public so the identity of all the parties will be known. Any attorney you hire will necessarily have to know who all the parties are that are responsible for your losses, in order to effectively represent you in recovering them. That said, you need to hire an attorney to explore all of your options as soon as possible, with an emphasis on the best options to help you recover your missing funds in the shortest time with the smallest expense. In some cases of embezzlement, this means involving criminal law enforcement aspects to help you receive restitution. In other cases, it may be better to handle it in civil court to increase your chances of recovery (i.e. they can't pay you back your money if they are all in jail and not working). But no matter which method is chosen, you will need an attorney with experience in dealing with trustee breaches, who can help you reconstruct the accounting records to figure out exactly how much was taken, and what can be done about those fiduciary duty breaches. California law provides many protections for a beneficiary who has had funds misappropriated by trustees, including but not limited to the possible availability of "double damages" recovery. This is not a widely known remedy, and we have used it very effectively in several cases. It is important to take action as soon as possible because the longer you wait, the more stale the money trail becomes, and the more time you give the other side to hide/spend your money or cover their tracks. Seek an experienced attorney's advice immediately.

What are the legal rights of a spouse who just discovered his/her recently deceased mate never divorced the first spouse?

Answered by attorney Yahima Suarez (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Hernandez & Suarez, PL
Absent a will and appointment of personal representative by the deceased, all legal heirs need to consent to the appointment of the PR. Right off the bat, the spouse B does not have any rights as the second marriage is null and void-it is not legally enforceable. The heirs to the estate shall be the real espouse and any children. If the prior spouse and children agree to the appointment of personal representative, then spouse B can be the personal representative. The parents of the deceased are not heir to the estate absent a will in this case and have no say in nominating the PR. will not be valid.
