Q: what are the consequences for abusing the Superior Court by an attorney ?
During trust confirmation, previous attorney filed petition for ownership with the court, now having court date & case number.
Soon afterwards, remaining trust funds were withdrawn & accounts closed by cosigner / beneficiary - defying a filed legal demand that failed
to protect trust assets with the bank by previous attorney. This attorney knew trust funds were gone & never reported missing trust assets &
closed accounts to the court before & during hearing date. Unknowingly, the Superior Court confirmed missing trust funds & closed accounts.
the Superior Court & my trust was abused - should breach of fiduciary duty be reported to the police or district attorney ?
A: It could be a malpractice case against the attorney and or a motion for sanctions.
