I'm a Beneficiary dealing with a Bad Trustee
My Story is simple. My parents worked hard to provide a comfortable life for us, their children. I have always been hard working just like my parents. However, my brother (a.k.a. The Bad Trustee) thinks of himself as a Trust Fund Kid and is stealing, lying and perjured himself to the court in an attempt to hide Trust assets.
The Slow Legal Process is Painful
In spite of overwhelming evidence against the Trustee, I’ve had to be patient about gathering evidence and going through the process.
Disrespecting My Parents is the Worst
I have all the confidence that my case is solid, but the Bad Trustee is an expert at manipulating the legal system and uses every dirty trick in the book.
