South Gate, CA asked in Estate Planning and Real Estate Law for California

Q: Can I have my siblings buy me out of my fathers trust as I feel the administrator (my sister) is not trustworthy?

She lives in the property rent free and is not upfront of the bank account and the property expenses. I just want my portion and paid to me and not have to be fighting about expenses on the property. There is a total of seven siblings. Please advise.

A: Yes you should have the option to be bought out. Beneficiaries have a lot of rights, especially concerning access to information.
