A: In order to have a judge review the actions of a trustee in California, you may consider filing a petition under Probate Code section 17200. This section of the California Probate Code allows beneficiaries to petition the court for a variety of issues, including actions to compel the trustee to fulfill their duties. Given your circumstances, it would be wise to consult with legal resources, such as legal aid organizations, that may be able to assist you at a reduced cost.
