This is incorrect. They can enforce against joint owned items.

It makes sense to enforce against items owned jointly with another liable person. But enforcing against items owned jointly with a non liable person does not make sense. Are you saying that they can do the latter?

Seriously you do not have the facts but seem to jump to Judgment,

You cannot exclude relevant details then accuse people of jumping to conclusions. My response was based on the information you provided in your post. If you do not give all the facts I can only respond to your post as it is written. In brief terms your post reads - am a trustee for my kids - decided I don't want the responsibility - how can I get out of it without the other trustees' knowledge or agreement. Based on that what response are you expecting?

I find that is what with wrong with too many people here nowadays. It used to be a site where people asked for help, and that was what they got.

My advice was intended to be helpful ie You cannot just walk away from being a trustee and you need to sort it with your ex.

For your information both beneficiaries are now adult and entitled to run the trust. And as for lumbering my ex, don't even get me started there! But suffice to say she was fully aware of this for 2 years, ignored all letters and didn't even forward anything to me so lets say if she is 'lumbered' it is of her own doing.

I still stand by my advice - you are unlikely to be able to resolve this without discussion / agreement with your ex. If your children are old enough that your involvement as a trustee is no longer required then perhaps it is time to consider transferring the estate or property to them. But again, you'll need to work with the other trustee to achieve this.
