Dad died 6 months ago. The Trustee did not tell of his death. I found out by accident. What happens with the Trust? I was named as a beneficiary.

The trustee is required to give you notice, and a copy of the trust, under Probate Code section 16061.7, along with information about the trust's assets and liabilities under Probate Code section 16061. Ask the trustee for this information, and if he/she isn't forthcoming, see an attorney about getting this information and compelling the trustee to do his/her job. If they still refuse, they can be removed to be sure you're treated fairly and the trust is handled properly.
