This in in regards to a Trust;

When you petition the court to replace a trustee and every beneficiary is sent the notice and they object then what happens. This is what I am doing and I know no one will agree.

The Probate Code contains a list of causes that may be used to remove a trustee. If you have evidence that satisfies one or more of the statutary causes for removal, the court may remove the trustee regardless of whether the other beneficiaries object. Without knowing the basis for your petition to remove the trustee I cannot comment on your probability of success or whether you have reasonable justification to seek the trustee's removal.
