Re: Statue of Limitation

The answer is more complicated than a simple yes or no. You state "protest" a trust. Does this mean contest the execution or validity of the trust itself? Or, protest or contest the job the trustee is doing? Or claim that the trustor did not have capacity to sign the trust or understand it?

After a final accounting is received by a beneficiary, the trustee is generally relieved of any claims made more than six months after receipt of the accounting. But there are different time limits for different circumstances, two years for some, six months, etc. And if a particular wrongful act (tort) is done, there may be a specific time limit to make claims related to that particular act.

Be more specific in your question, and give some facts, so that a better answer can be posted, and you can get better information. Really, no sufficient answer can be given on the sketchy question you posted.

Best regards,
