Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Utah
only son
My Xhusdand has been incompasatated because of an accident and not expected to ever get any better. his brother has power of attorney and over his trust . but everything was to be left to my son (15) at the age of 21. at the rate they are selling things and putting there names on things (without any regaurds to my sons feelings) we feel they sould have to provide us with all info. so that we know they what they are doing with everthing. my xhusband and i never did break up totally and this has hurt us badly. my x and his brother have not liked each other for about 7 years .we dont agree on how far they have taken him away so we cant go see him and how they are handling things period. can we do anything ?

Re: only son
The terms of the trust govern what the trustee can do. Your son, as beneficiary, is entitled to a copy of the trust agreement and an accounting of the assets in the trust. However, the trust will probably be used to provide for your ex-husband as long as he lives. If the trustee is using the assets in the trust for your ex, then he is doing his duty.
