Your question is mixing terms. You state that you are a beneficiary of a Trust and also state that the executor of your father's estate is selling assets. An executor or Personal Representative is appointed by the court in a probated estate. A Trust is usually not probated and is managed by a Trustee.
Whether you are the beneficiary of a trust or an heir under the will, you may have interests that you need to protect. See the attached link for more information. You should consult with an Idaho trust and estate attorney. Do not delay as the passage of time will negatively affect your rights.
First off, you are confusing some of the terms. The executor manages the probate estate and a trustee manages a trust. Regardless, if you are not comfortable with the actions that the executor and the estate attorney are taking, you need to consult with a local probate lawyer.
You would be wise to consult an attorney under any conditions if you feel your beneficiary#N#rights are being violated.
No one is executor until the person dies and a court appoints an executor.#N#Talk to your parents about your concerns. If they are mentally competent, they can execute new wills (hire a lawyer to draft wills, POA's, advance directives). If they are not mentally competent, hire a probate lawyer and file for guardianship of them...
If your brother has this instability in his background, why was he named executor over you? If these mental health issues srd still present, that may be enough fir yhe probate to find he is "unsuitable," and disqualify him from serving as the PR.
I agree with Mr. Green. Once your parents have passed, the most efficient way to satisfy your concerns is to hire a a probate attorney, with whom you can establish a rapport. That Atty will keep you informed and advise whether anything seems wrong.
If your parents are still alive, so long as they are competent they can change the executor nominated in a prior will. If they are not competent (thus not legally able to change will) or if no one has the power under a power of attorney to change the will (not likely) then the will stands as is.
