A: In California, trustees have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the trust and its beneficiaries, which includes providing accounting reports and abiding by applicable regulations. If your trustee is not complying with CTAPP regulations and you believe your rights as a beneficiary are being violated, you may need to seek legal recourse. It's advisable to consult with another attorney who specializes in trust and estate matters to review your specific situation and explore potential legal actions.
