[quote=Anonymous]There are a jillion red flags here and I think you and your sister's intuition/gut feeling that something is "off" is well-founded. Your father sounds like a massive jerk to boot - he demands blind loyalty despite being a philanderer and crap father.

Can you split the baby? I'd tell him that while you aren't comfortable signing without seeing anything, you at least need to understand what monies are currently in the trust or set to go into it before you sign anything. I'm saying this from the point of view that it might not be worth it to you to blow up your relationship over $10k, but $100k is a different situation.

My gut reaction to your post is that your dad has been skimming from the trust and is trying to cover his tracks.

As far as signing something and legal liability - TALK TO A LAWYER. But from what you are saying this sounds like you are being asked to sign/attest that your OWN interests have been represented versus certifying to an authority that the accounting, etc. are correct. If you (or anyone) signs a statement saying they've been provided and had a chance to review X, Y, Z, the legal effect is that you may not be able to complain later.

I can't tell you what to do but I do feel comfortable saying that you are being pressured and manipulated and your hesitation is entirely warranted.[/quote]
