For what reason would a Large U.S. Bank resign as trustee of a 1/2 Million dollar trust fund after 30+ Years?

I requested an accounting of the Trust Fund because I was recently told it was only worth half of what they had been reporting to me for years. This occurred after a merger with another larger bank. Also, the yearly amounts reported as income to me have been averaging 33% more per year than the actual check I receive. Any Idea what My options are ??? or what to do ???

They could be resigning because they know they might be liable for mishandling your trustfund. Sounds to me like they are skimming the heck out of your trust as well. I'd want a detailed accounting of all their FEES, etc. Sounds to me like they are nickle-and-dime-ing you to death.

I think you need an attorney who specializes in going after these types of organizations who rob trustfunds. But be ready, it's really not cheap, and you need to be able to convince the lawyer your case has merit. They don't do the legwork to find the flaws, not without a large retainer. So good luck with that, have been going through that with my son 's trust as well. Remember, sometimes it takes a court order to make them cough up records for you. It shouldn't, but sometimes it does. Only under threat of going to jail will someone begin to cooperate with your demands when they have been stealing from you.
