ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

My sister & I inherited a house after our mother passed away (Ages 21 & 11) I am the younger sibling by 10 years difference & now that I am no longer a minor, my family (overseers of our mothers trust) inform me that I actually own significantly less of it than my sister. I know this cant be right & would greatly appreciate guidance on this matter.

ATTORNEY ANSWER BY MARGARET L. CROSS:

You need to request an accounting of the trust assets from the trustee’s of your trust. This should be a detailed list of the income and expenses paid out of your share of the trust. The trustees should have been compiling this annually and providing it to your guardian. If the accounting does not answer your questions, you should proceed to hire an attorney.
