Does the trustee who is your sibling have to provide the beneficiary with a copy of parents trust?
Martycote
Yes. You should be able to review the trust. You can also ask for a regular accounting so that you can monitor the trustee's management of the trust property. If the trustee refuses you can file a motion in a court of equity to compel an inventory and accounting. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.

Yes, as a beneficiary, you have the right to receive a copy of the trust document. The trustee, who is your sibling, has a duty to keep you informed about the trust and its administration. You can request a copy of the trust document from the trustee if you have not received one.

Can beneficiary of trust tell a trustee what to do?
They most certainly may not! The entire purpose of the trust is to prevent the beneficiary from controlling the trust. The responsibility lies with the trustee to maintain the trust as it was set up. Actually, it depends on what kind of a trust is involved. For example, a Land Trust is beneficiary driven....meaning the beneficiary tells the Trustee what to do by letter of direction. Most all other types of trusts are Trustee driven and decisions are made by the Trustee. Randy Hughes
