Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

Guardian of Trust

My mother recently passed away. She was ill for 6 years and a guardian was appointed to take care of her funds. She had accounts set up (3), one for each daughter. The accounts she signed state that these are seperate and not to be a part of her will. The guardian will not, however, release these funds. He has in fact set these up in his name. My sister and I have sought help from the Clerk of Court and the Guardian, himself. So far we have found no solution to this problem. The bank keeps referring us back to the guardian, who keeps saying it's not my mother's money anymore when I keep insisting that it was her wishes that we receive these funds apart from the will. Where do I go from here?
