ItsBenW asked:
My cousins and I received a trust fund from my uncle when he passed away many years ago. All of us used our piece of the trust to pay for our college educations and we are super thankful for that! However 2 of the people attached to the trust, were non-existent in our family due to a separation (its a long story) they were never claimed their piece of the trust and were eventually legally adopted by their new father. Their trust money is basically sitting and doing nothing (as far as we are aware) and I wondered if that is something my cousins and I should look into. Is there a chance we are entitled to their portion of the fund due to the fact that they were adopted and legally no longer part of the family and/or there might be a clause that states something like this in the trust. Thanks!
For all the people that think this is a greed thing, it isn’t. 15 years of trying to contact the other cousins is a long frustrating experience. I would be fine giving the money to charity but I dont think it sitting in the trust forever and ever is the way to go and I just wondered if there are other options. After receiving such opinionated responses, I have decided to not pursue it any longer and therefore allow the lawyer to attempt to find the cousins (which he wont) because we have tried and failed for many years. Thanks to my first reply for a non-opinionated, non-judgemental direct, factual answer. Thanks!
