Generally, if the person who set up the Trust was of sound mind when the trust was created, you can not attack the Trust itself.
However, if there was a change to the Trust, an amendment, by a person who lacked capacity to make the change, you can attack the amendment.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to e-mail your telephone number to me and a good time to call.

Re: wills/trusts
a "possible" unsound mind will not invalidate a trust.
