Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

Can a guardian in MA set up a trust of ward's cash for benefit of just 1 adult child and put title of real estate in trust for the same adult child, without notifying all interested parties? If the ward dies intestate, how can interested parties protect their rights to inherit? Guardian didn't submit annual accountings to interested parties or court ever, in order to evade actions/petitions of another interested party/child of ward who would have objected to such actions.. Ward has just passed away and guardian says he forgot to place real estate in trust, and that ward's estate will rectify matter. Is this legal? What are the rights of interested parties/children of ward? Guardian is also a child of ward.
