Trust Mismanagement Concerns

Summary

Robert, using power of attorney, transferred $120,000 from the mothers IRA to a checking account before her death. After her passing, valuables were removed from the home without proper authorization. A trustee was nominated without proper notice, and the house was sold as is, potentially devaluing it. There were issues with asset retention, conflicting final accountings, and improper tax handling. The realtor had a conflict of interest, and there was a lack of court involvement. Beneficiaries were not properly informed, and there was unequal treatment. Consider consulting a trust attorney to address these breaches and protect your interests.

She allowed Reggie to live there effectively I was kicked out even though I was a resident there She sold the house on April * For $*,000on that day l it was appraised reappraised by the buyer at $*.* million they immediately secured a loan of $* million and began to remodel the home it is now October *, * and she’s giving me $*,* of my *% ownership in the home sale and withholding *,* which she is going to Distribute ten Thousand two each Beneficiary but is refusing to do so until I sign a approvel of accounting And a release of trustee and she plans on keeping the * for tax liabilities and etc. even even if in after the releases are signed. Under accounting she misrepresented the payment to the other beneficiary For emptying the houselisting it as reimbursement to Matt DeLine the realtor her realtor For repairs
