Yes, you have legal rights and you are entitled to more than a copy of the Trust Agreement. You can try to take legal action by going to the Self Service Center at the Superior Court or you can hire an attorney to represent you. I believe that your lawyer will be able to get the successor trustee to respond, and if not, then you can go to court to get supervision of the administration of the trust and the distributions therefrom.
