Sounds like the money should have been distributed 2 years ago; however, you need to have an attorney review the Trust itself. For example, was the $5,000 gift contingent on your mother not exhausting the trust during her lifetime? You should also ask your uncle about this since he is trustee. Seems like you should have been getting accountings from the trustee.
