Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina

Sister cannot have an irrevocable trust done for any one but herself. A power of attorney does not generally give authority to an agent to make a will or trust for someone else. But I am not licensed to practice law in Arkansas and you need to direct your question to an Arkansas law probate/estates/trust attorney who can advise you on Arkansas law.

Arkansas is where mother lived at the time of her death. Indiana is irrelevant as is where you and sister live. The trust would contain a provision indicating what law is to govern assuming it was properly drafted. It should be Arkansas. You need to get a copy of this document and you need to know whether it can be challenged based on invalidity. If not, the trustee can be removed if he/she is not acting properly. Trust litigation is very very expensive so before embarking on this course you need to know what assets are in the trust and what they are worth. However, you still need to talk to an Arkansas attorney to find out what you can or cannot do.
