My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: California
in the trust it appoints an attorney as the trustee, since the death of our family member we have been waiting for the contest period to pass which is next month.
a family member was given a house free and clear to own, but the house needs to be fixed before he can live there, he choose to stay at another house that was gifted to another family member. no one had any problem with this for the mean time till the contest period was over, then everyone gets what they are suppose to have and that's it.
that family member apparently either stole or threw away literally EVERYTHING in the house that wasn't his including the carpets, furniture, stoves, chandelier's not to mention 3 cars and 1 bass boat. not only that, but that family member hooked up with some lady who he apparently gave authorization to rent the property, and now some stranger is living there.
the tenant said she and the lady who rented the property did cleaning and some repairs. do either of them have rights to want her money back ?
the attorney was saying that he wanted to protect the cars for atleast the last month, but obviously never did it. so now that the house has been stolen and things are missing, who is responsible for the losses ?
the family member who was aware of these things happening or the attorney for not fulfilling his fiduciary duty to protect the house and assets? does it make a difference if the family member was living there ?
thanks.
