Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Step-Son Rights
My father (step-father) who raised me since I was about 1 1/2 passed away leaving a naural son, another step-son, from my father's decesased wife and my self. My half brother was named as trustee to our father's trust, and he says that he and my step mother's son are the only two people mentioned in the trust.
I had met with my father about a month before he died to talk about some differences we've had and at that time he said I was in his "Will", nothing was said about a trust. My brother is being very evasive and won't answer any questions except to say that I was not mentioned in the trust.
My question is should I persue this matter or because I'm not a natural son just drop it? This is not about money as much as it is about a persons history and belonging to a family.

Re: Step-Son Rights
Unfortunately, you probably do not have a right in this case even to see the trust for yourself because you are not a natural heir or blood son. I doubt there is anything you can do at this point.
