[quote=Anonymous]Who has been the administrator of the trust? that person should be able to testify as to the terms in the absence of the original will.

If it was you - are you prepared to perjure yourself? Because you are well aware of your father's intentions and the provisions of the trust. You'll have to lie, under oath in court, to get around it. And anyone else who knows the terms of the will (your wife?) Would also have to commit perjury.

You keep mentioning the lack.of an original will. Is there a copy? How was the will not made part of the probate record when your father died? The original will is not necessary. If there is evidence that something is an accurate copy, that will suffice.

Also, there should be trust documents beyond the will which establish the terms. The trust exists. Not like a.court will ignore that just because the original will establishing the trust is gone.

Who prepared the will? They can testify to its contents.

On the whole, I think it's likely that you'll lose and you run the risk of getting into additional trouble for perjury. You could end up paying your siblings' attorney fees, etc. For me, would not be worth the risk.

I don't see how the fact that your siblings' mom was shitty is relevant. This was your father's money and I gather these are his kids too?
