Don't I have the right to know about my children's trust fund?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
The short answer is no, but you may be able to demand that the trustee provide an accounting if you feel there has been mismanagement or self-dealing. That demand would probably be made in a probate court, not a family court.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND COST TO OBTAIN A SMALL ESTATE AFFIDAVIT?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
It sounds as though you need to take the Will to a local probate attorney and present it for probate.  A Small Estate Affidavit can only be used if there is no Will and if the person left no more than a home, personal possessions worth no more than $60,000 and other assets (such as bank accounts) worth no more than $75,000.  Some courts require that the heirs be the surviving spouse or minor children.

Should I get an atty as 1 of 2 executors of trust, when other executor has atty?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
That seems odd if you plan to act jointly.  However, if the trust agreement does not state that you must act jointly, your sister could act without you.  If she made a mistake, you could be financially liable as well.  Perhaps you should have it reviewed by an attorney and take steps, if needed, to limit your liability.
