Cirillo v. Crooks
This action involves a dispute between Dennis J. Crooks and his sisters, Margaret E. Cirillo and Joan Meyer, regarding a trust created by their father, the John Crooks Separate Property Trust (the Trust). Dennis was named as the sole trustee of the Trust. After John died, all parties to this appeal became trust beneficiaries. (Another sister and trust beneficiary, Elizabeth Miller, did not participate in the litigation.) Margaret and Joan objected to Dennis's first account and report of trust assets, and petitioned to have him removed as trustee for breaches of his fiduciary duties. The trial court found that Dennis had committed numerous breaches of his fiduciary duties, removed him as trustee, and appointed a successor trustee.
