The answer to your question depends on the terms of the trust.

I agree with attorney Schmitz; you need to review the trust language. Usually, there will be fairly explicit terms regrading distributions of assets and to whom (beneficiaries). If this is not clear from the trust document, and if you have further questions, you should bring the trust to an experienced estate planning attorney for a consultation.

I agree with the previous answers that your answer depends on the terms of the trust agreement. Do you have a copy of the trust agreement? I do recommend having it review by an attorney to make sure you are abiding by the terms of the trust and have fulfilled all your obligations as trustee.
