Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri

Age requirements of trust

My father had a revocable living trust. It states that my sister and I can have control of our individual trusts at our respective ages of 45. However, it also names my sister as second successor trustee. Can she be both beneficiary and trustee before reaching the age of 45? Can this age requirement for either of us be negated by a court? There is also the matter of family property - our mother's, not his or his widow's - that was left to be determined. It can be put into either trust, with the loss of other income property, or left to the widow. Can we challenge the trust on this matter?
