Hello.  It sounds like you are a beneficiary but not the co-trustee as well, correct?  You can petition the court for an accounting and request the court to remove him as trustee.  You may be able to replace the trustee yourself; it depends on a few factors.  But it all starts with an accounting to see what you have/no longer have and see if the trustee (s) is/are doing their job.   If the trustee has been violating the trust than you could get your attorney fees paid by him when you force him out.  It depends how bad he was and how the trust reads before I can tell you if he would lose inheritance.
