Cumming v. Cumming CA4/2
On December 31, 2013, Janet and William Cumming filed a petition, pursuant to Probate Code sections 16080 and 17200, subdivision (b)(5), (6), (7) and (10), to compel Steven, as the acting successor cotrustee of the trust established by their parents, the Robert Bruce Cumming and Lois Wielen Cumming Trust, to report information concerning the trust; to account; to allow beneficiaries and/or the other successor cotrustee reasonable access to view trust property; and/or to remove the acting successor cotrustee and appoint a private professional second successor trustee. The petition alleged, among other things, that Steven, as acting successor cotrustee, had maintained exclusive control over the trust’s assets, had used them for his own benefit, and had refused requests by Janet for information concerning the trust’s assets.
