Obtain a copy of the trust and consult with a knowledgeable probate litigation attorney. If no trust forthcoming, have the attorney make demand for the document. Questions such as yours require a review of the relevant documents and an exploration of the facts, as I anticipate litigation coming in this matter. As the attorney before me advised, consult with an attorney, in person, without delay, NOW, to file an objection to your mother's petition for appointment.
