How you receive money from a trust is controlled by the trust language. Generally, if the trust is set up to pay you a monthly amount, that is all you are entitled to receive. You should have an attorney review the trust to go over the provisions that are applicable to your situation.

It is not possible to answer your question without seeing the trust instrument, which will contain the terms of your gift. Ask for a copy of the trust.
