text: if my father made a living trust and died oct 1998 should i have not been told by now that he had a trust.? i know there is a trust i have a copy but my mother and sister think i am dumb and dont know anything about it.the trust says to divide everything into two equal shares saying survivor trust and bypass trust.i and my sister are named and also i and my sister are named first sucessor trustee.i found out my mother changed the trust and named my sister and her daughter as first sucessor trustee.in my mothers statement she has lied about the value of the estate so our part wouldnt show near as much as it was really worth.i believe she lied because of avoiding taxes but that cheats me out of alot of money i could have had coming to me....i really need some help and answers to this.when i call attorneys they want like $300 an hour just to look into it and i cant afford that..please someone out there help lead me in the right direction. you need an attorney
