A: Acting as a trustee and obtaining a reverse mortgage against a court order could potentially be considered a violation of the court's order, which may have legal consequences. If you believe the trust is fraudulent and the trustee has not fulfilled their duties, it's important to consult with a trust and estate attorney who can assess your situation and provide accurate legal advice. They can help determine if any laws have been violated and guide you on appropriate legal actions to address the missing items from the trust.
