To be clear, are you suggesting the trustee did not adhere to the terms of the trust?
Infolawyer, Expert
Trustee owes beneficiaries a fiduciary duty and should act in your best interests and to maximize value and returns.
Infolawyer, Expert
Trustee can be enjoined by lawyer demand and seeking TRO from the court. You can seek expedited review and hearing from the court. This can be done by order to show cause motion (OSC) which is a motion supported by affidavit. This is something the court clerk can help you with or local counsel can prepare.
Infolawyer, Expert
Yes, and you can also pursue with local counsel.
Site rules do not permit us to take on cases. Here, I wish I could. I can offer resources for hiring counsel locally, often on commission or pro bono basis. I would be happy to share that information with you. Please let me know if that would help.

You have good facts. I would have a lawyer make demand and try to resolve out of court.

You may benefit from using local counsel to handle this for you. You can find a local lawyer by location and practice area using avvo.com, findlaw.com, justia.com and martindale.com.
You can also look for pro bono free counsel through state or federal bar associations including this excellent resource: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/legal_services/flh-home/flh-free-legal-help/
It helps to prepare your case with a good narrative or story of what happened. This helps focus the presentation of the facts and arguments. It is often useful to have a chronological timeline of events with facts and back up evidence (e.g. e-mails, texts, photos, witnesses)
