Asked in CA May 19, 2022 ,  0 answers
I am a beneficiary in my father's trust. Currently my sister is acting as my father's Power of Attorney. As a beneficiary of the trust can I legally request a copy of her detailed accounting. I strongly suspect that she is spending his money for her own benefit, but I need proof. My father is in denial and won't demand an accounting from her. According to my father's attorney my sister is only obligated to give an accounting to my father. Is there anything I can do to help protect my father?

I agree with Mr. Perry. A power of attorney would only have effect over your father's matters while he was alive. It would terminate by operation of law when he died, and only the trustee of the trust would owe you an accounting.
