I am the deceased's daughter, one of the four beneficiaries to my mother's trust. I am also the aunt to the trustee who lives about 5 blocks from my home. However she advised me that she has retained Mr. Snyder and all correspondence should go to him. So in effect he has a relationship with my niece, the trust, my mother's first cousin, and ultimately the three other beneficiaries through instruction from the trustee.

My mother passed over 4 months ago. California state law requires that all beneficiaries be notified, provided with copies of the trust, and given a complete accounting of all transactions that have occurred since the deceased of the trustor. Mr. Snyder has not complied with that law. I finally received a copy of the trust two weeks ago from my niece. The other two beneficiaries have never received a copy of the trust. And what I received was only copies of the amendments. I hold the original trust given to me by my mother in 2008.

Repeatedly we have requested a full accounting of all transacations that occurred since my mother's death relatd to her assets, liabilities and the trust. He refuses to acknowledge that request, only supplying us with an amount for the sale of the manufactured hoome (net or gross not determined). Nothing regarding other costs and assets that I know to have been in my mother's possession at the moment of her death.

My mother had me meet with her fiancial advisors in late May, 2010. The balancce of her investment account at that time was about $30,000 more than Mr. Snyder reports.

Additionally, he sent a distribution schedule that is incremental over a year. The total dispersements equal $36,000 for each beneficiary. The remainder is being witheld for a year from my mother's death which will be late August 2011. No mention on an earned income on that witholding amount to be paid to the benficiaries. The balance being witheld is $14,000 times four beneficiaries equals $54,000 being held for a year.

My 83 year old mother lived a frugal existence. I managed all of her financial affairs and was joint holder on many of her accounts. She paid cash for nearly everything. She would not have an unexpected liabilities in the amount of $54,000.

There are additional item at issue here. Unfortunately, I am retaining counsel to represent me... a loss to all beneficiaries and a gain for the attorneys. Read the writing on the wall.

Ms. Jones your complainant is not a client or customer.

She has never purchased anything from me. She is involved with one of my clients in a legal dispute and has threatened to bad mouth me all over town if I don't give in to her demands.

She actually put that demand in writing and I am right now preparing to sue her for defamation. Thank you for this valuable evidence on your web site.

I know you and just want you to know that I think you are a putz. By the way, you do not own the world and you should respect others, especially when you have to see them on a regular basis. You may not know who you are disrespecting.
