When someone sets up a trust, they expect the trustee to follow their wishes and distribute assets fairly. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen…
If you’re having issues with a trustee, you may be asking, “What can I do if a trustee refuses to distribute my inheritance?“
It’s a question many California beneficiaries find themselves asking after months of unanswered calls, vague excuses, or complete silence from the trustee. This situation creates real problems—financial strain, uncertainty, and deep frustration.
