You need to file a written objection to being removed as trustee. You say the daughter has not fulfilled all the wishes in the trust. But you are co-trustee. You and the daughter were equally responsible for carrying out the terms of the trust. This death was almost 1.5 years ago. If the daughter had effective control of the assets and has not distributed them properly, you could not only objection to her petition to remove you, but include in your objection a request that she be removed. You will need a lawyer for this.
