You first need to look at the terms of the trust. Does the trust give the beneficiaries the right to remove a trustee? If it does, and the beneficiaries are in agreement, then you can contact the surrogate's court in the county in which the trust was formed and get the trustee removed. Also the trust will indicate whether or not an accounting is required, and if it is, and she has not provided it, then she can be removed for that reason as well. you should start in the county in which the trust was formed, and if you don't have a copy the surrogate's office might have the trust agreement. Good luck.
