I remained family representative.
With changes.
I requested annual fiduciary education.
Direct statements.
No informal family coordinator.
Sylvia removed permanently.
Charles barred from serving as successor family representative.
Improper reimbursements restored through:
Sylvia repayment.
Offsets against certain family distributions.
Insurance settlement.
Corporate reimbursement where expenses had been incorrectly mixed.

Her trust remained invested.
That was safer.
My table flipping?
Charles sued for property damage.
We settled.
I paid for the table.
Personally.
