It will be so difficult for her or you to handle this without an attorney.
Re: contesting a trust
In order to answer this question completely and correctly it is necessary to review the trust agreement, the court records and the financial information maintained by your mother.
The primary issue is whether or not your mother performed her duties as a trustee properly and in accordance with the provisions of the trust.
