Re: trustee

He has a fiduciary duty as trustee to distribute trust assets according to the trust. If he is not doing this, you can call the Probate Court where you live and they will tell you what to do. You can petition the court to contest the trust distribution or to see the trust. Depending on the county, you may or may not need an attorney to do that.
