Criminal Charges And Civil Suit
Summary
In Georgia, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty in criminal cases. However, pending criminal charges can be cited in civil cases, potentially impacting your role as a co-trustee. Trustees have a duty to inform and cooperate with co-trustees, and failure to do so may breach legal obligations. If a co-trustee was unaware of a lawsuit drawn up in her name but signed it, challenging its validity involves proving lack of knowledge, duress, or misunderstanding. To defend against a civil lawsuit, gather evidence of your adherence to trustee duties and consult a lawyer for both civil and criminal cases. Counterclaims in civil lawsuits should clearly state harm, provide evidence, and specify relief sought.Full Conversation
Even if they cite my pending charges as cause to remove me

Have you consulted with a lawyer about both your criminal and civil cases?

How would it impact my criminal and civil case
In your civil case, citing pending criminal charges can be used as evidence to question your fitness as a co-trustee, potentially leading to removal. For your criminal case, it shouldn't directly impact the fairness or presumption of innocence, but it's crucial to have a lawyer for both cases to ensure your rights are protected.
