Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

If you are a beneficiary, the trustee should have provided you with notice and a copy of the Trust. If you know who the trustee is, you should make a formal written demand for the information, including an accounting. If you still do not receive anything you may need to go to Court to compel performance.

Or open Probate, serve the parties who you believe have access to the irrevocable trust and make them prove that there is a trust and that they are entitled to x, y, or z. Even if there is a trust, you may still be entitled to something.

You should have been served with notice even if you are not a beneficiary, as the grantor's legal heir.

I agree with Mr. Feldman and Ms. Cusack. You don't want to open an expensive probate and make an ass of yourself. You need to write the trustee a letter and request a copy of the trust.
