OK, My dad died recently. My mom is still alive, but quite old. I was informed after my dad died, that my part of the rather large inheritance will be left in care of my brother, who is estranged from me and so I want to know if I can hire a lawyer and just have it changed to who is in charge of my inheritance after my mom dies . I was told one cannot contest a family trust, but can I have the trustee of my part of the inheritance changed if I hire a lawyer ? Just looking for legal answers, I am not money hungry, just need to know my rights. thanks

Tasia asked:
There is an irrevokable family trust, in which I am the trustee and the beneficiary. It CLEARLY states that the settlor (my father) cannot touch this $ for any reason whatsoever, and that I am entitled to tap into during times of crisis (I’m in one now, trust me, and not by my own doing). I had an attorney look at it and she confirmed that I have rights to it and my father doesn’t. I have approached my father about this several times, and he has shut me down each time, saying it’s his money until the day he dies, and don’t even think about trying to touch it. What do I do? Risk what fragile ties we already have and try and access it, or just bite the bullet and pretend everything is just fine (I have been unemployed since February. I am single, own a house, and finances are getting tight because I am going back to school for a semester to try to break into another field.) I don’t know what I every did to make him this controlling. Should I try and access it or just let it go and pretend everything is okay (by the way, it will be a major challenge to access it because I have no clue how this stuff works.).

Darrel asked:
The problem we are running into is that he took care of all the finances, and the mom isn’t even sure what bank they use. We want to setup a trust for the kids, but the banks we have called want to have an existing bank account from the family before they will establish a trust.

Is there anyway we can do this without having to have an existing account? The trust will be funded by several friends and coworkers, and we want the mother to be able to administer it.
