Help re: removal of trustee

singhr2

Thanks for the advice. The policies are quite old (early 1980) and Sun life have said that the only way round this is for a court to sign on ex wife's behalf in order to remove her as a trustee. The payments would then go to the remaining trustee. I have asked them to pay direct to beneficiaries but they will not do this.

I might take a look to see if I can make my own application to court to do this, as I am still paying of the legal costs from the divorce, and I am not confident with solicitors due to past experience.

I believe Sun life did attempt to reclaim the money from the ex wife, but were unsuccessful. Whether they involved the police, I do not know.

having read the whole thread could you please explain how you think this will help the OP's situation.

The OP said "The sons have been living with me since the divorce as the ex wife did not want any contact with them (the divorce was in 1996). We have not seen her since nor do we not know where she lives.
The ex wife managed to forge my signature and the monies were paid do her by mistake"

so there is no relationship between kids and ex wife to sour. So my answer to your question would be: Justice.
