Yes.


How do you know this? And what kind of trust is it?


How do I find that out?


How do you know you are a beneficiary? Is the grantor alive or dead?


Dead, now. Was told about it when grantor alive.

You are kind of at the mercy of the trustee of the trustee has rights to use the trust for health and welfare.

OP,

If you are in fact a beneficiary, then you need to ask the trustee directly for documentation. Lawfully, they need to provide it:

A trust is different from a will, and I don't think an executor of a will is required to provide you a copy of a will unless you're actually named in the will.

Why aren't you telling us how you know? It matters for the advice that we will give. Why so cagey?

My guess is the grantor is deceased b/c the lawyer who drew up the trust is no longer practicing--probably retired.

OP, how do you know you are a beneficiary?

Why are you giving one-word answers? How about you actually tell us what the hell is going on and don't make us guess, and you might actually get useful information.


If I knew more, I would tell you more. I know very little about the situation, unfortunately.

Immediate relative.


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


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


Yes.


Do you know this? You could petition the court.


How?
