My brother is trustee to my mother's trust who passed away Aug, 2010. My brother and I are equal beneficiaries. 6 months after my mother passed, my brother stated to me in aphone conversation "how much do i have to pay you to stay out of my life". he has not spoken to me since. I have been contacted by a lawyer representing "the trust" (ie; my brother) saying all communication is to go through him. Should the trust then have to pay for the lawyer fee's out of the trust? I think it is crazy to pay $400 because I cant send my brother a simple email asking for an update on the status of the trust.
Answer
As the Trustee, your brother may hire an attorney to handle trust administration and distribution.
Answer
Yes, but you are entitled to an accounting and information regarding the administration of the trust. Make the requests to the lawyer, in writing.
