What documents do I need to claim money from a trust?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Technically, you probably have to open a probate for your mother's estate which would then pay the money to the trust. You might be able to convince the foreign estate to skip the step of making the payment to the estate. If I were the lawyers for the aunt's estate, I would not advise the personal representative to pay to the trust because that doesn't protect the personal representative if someone claims your mother's will is invalid or if a creditor comes out of the woodwork.

How can I find out more information about my mother's estate?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
I am assuming that you are in Oregon and that Oregon law applies. Your brother may be absolutely correct and to the extent that he retained any of your parents funds, he may have earned it many times over; but, he should be able to show you his records and an accounting for the money and property. He should not have thrown them away and there are legal requirements that must be followed to keep funds from a parent's estate. There are several ways to approach this; however, most likely the most efficient would be to start a probate for your mother's estate. If you are appointed the personal representative, you will have the authority to obtain the bank records and compel your brother to explain what he did. It will take money to fund the probate estate and a fair amount of time and energy. You probably should evaluate your basis for thinking that there is money left and quantify it to decide if it is worth it to pursue.

The short answer is that a fresh set of eyes may be a good thing.  There are many ways to deal with the on going commission income, but more facts would be needed. Partial on going distributions are the preferred method of addressing the problem.  Lee David Auerbach Auerbach Law Group, P.C.
