Estate in Trust
I am the 2nd named to operate a trust estate for my father who passed away. In the living will/trust, it states if the primary (my sister) cannot manage the trust for some reason, I would take over.

Would this include poor management? For instance, not paying property taxes when money is available, delinquent on all bills destroying the legacy of my fathers perfect credit, etc. My sister is also an alcoholic and when not working, drinks until passing out nightly.

Is it possible to simply go to the county clerk to get documentation giving me complete control of the estate?

Trust ”Declaration of intent”
Declaration of Intentfor a revocable living will put all worldly goods in trust. Trustors failed to fund Trust. Pour over Will reads ”It is my intent that all was placed in Trust as a result of Declaration of Intent” Are deceased wordly goods in Revocable Trust after death? or are the goods not in Trust maybe ”intestate”?
