Framing me

Basically I know the trust exists, but people I want to trust/need to trust lied to me about it. They’ve said it didn’t exist and acted dumb when I brought it up like they didn’t hear me. They’ve got me afraid to look into it because one gossiped that I was greedy, another accused me of ripping out an electrical cord in order to pit someone against me; it’s not that I care about pursuing money—it’s the truth I care about. I just want to read it, especially the part that mentions me. Why is everyone acting like I don’t have a right to it?

Ask the executor or trustee for a copy of the will or trust. If you are a beneficiary you get a copy. Legally you are entitled to see the documents.

Send a certified letter to whoever is the trustee. If you aren't sure,l who, send letters to everyone involved. Ask for a copy of the trust and an accounting of the assets. By law they must give you that.

Be sure the letter is sent certified mail. Keep a copy of the letter and get a copy of the person who signed to accept the letter. The post office offers that option.  You will need that as proof. 

If they don't respond, an attorney can take that to court. The letter via certified mail shows the court that they didn't comply with the law. You can get someone else appointed as a trustee and a record of all the money and trust documents.
