How do I get a copy of a trust?

[Anonymous]

Of immediate family member? Do I have to petition the court (i.e.: do I need to hire a lawyer), or is there a cheaper way to go about this? If I ask for it, the answer will be "no", and the attorney that drew up the original trust is no longer practicing. Where do I start? (Not this area, BYW).

Immediate family member. Executor may not be above board.

So you're not the executor of the trust, and I assume not a beneficiary of the trust, is that right?

Its NONE of your business and you don't need access to it.

What interest do you have in the trust?

Actually the poster has the correct answer. OP says that a direct request will get a no. As in, none of his business. And it isn't.

If you aren't a beneficiary you have no right to the information. But the immediate family beneficiary does, so you'd have to go through that person to make a direct demand to see the trust instrument. You as a non interested party have no more right to see it than I do.

In the trust? No your relationship to the grantor. But what interest do you have in the trust? Back-up trustee? A beneficiary?

OP I think you're just being nosy and I don't believe you're an immediate relative to the beneficiary or executor to the trust.

I think you're probably just a neighbor...

I was the beneficiary to a trust, and I coyjdnt even get a copy. The trustee has to ok it. Do you know who the trustee is? If it's the executor, good luck. You are probably SOL.

I think she's saying she believes she is a beneficiary.
