You have to give them a statutory notice within 60 days that tell them, among other things, that they have the right to request a copy. Best to just give each a copy. Google Probate Code Section 16061 etal, but ideally, you should hire an attorney to represent you as Trustee and make sure that you do not mess up and breach your fiduciary duties to the beneficiaries.
