You are 50 years old and a beneficiary of a trust left by your grandfather but your father wants you to sign away your rights to this trust and you want to know is this legal?
Kimoser
Yes, that would be legal. However, you would be giving up any rights you have to benefits under the trust. You are under no obligation to sign away your rights as a beneficiary under a trust.
If you know the attorney who drafted the trust you should discuss the situation with her/him. You should have access to a copy and the attorney's name should be on it. If that attorney is no longer available then consult with your own attorney. You should determine why your father wants you to waive your interest in the trust and perhaps review the trust assets.

∙ 7y agoYou can always sign away your rights to something. It is perfectly legal to do so. Your father does not have the right to make you do it against your will.

What is the difference between Legal and Equitable Rights?
A legal right is a right you have to something without any barriers. An equitable right is one that would be recognized by a court of equity. One of the easiest to understand examples is the right of real property ownership.Suppose a person purchases a parcel of land by deed from its owner. That person becomes the legal owner of the property. They have a legal right of ownership.Now suppose a person inherited a parcel of land as the only heir at law of her grandfather. The grandfather's estate must be probated to transfer legal title to the beneficiary. When the estate is probated through the probate court the beneficiary will become the legal owner of the premises by virtue of the court order that allows the probating of the estate.If the estate is not probated the beneficiary has an equitable right to the property and is not the legal owner. She has the right to commence a court action to probate the estate so she can acquire the legal right to the premises.Another example: An owner whose land is taken by the town due to nonpayment of real estate taxes has an equitable interest in the property until that right has been barred by a court decree. In this case the delinquent property taxes are the barrier to full legal ownership. The delinquent taxpayer is no longer the legal owner of the premises. Until the delinquent owner's rights have been barred by a court decree they have the right to pay the delinquent taxes to redeem their property and become the legal owner once again.

Also, the Executor should contact you and inform you of their progress administrating the estate. As a beneficiary, you may have legal recourse if you do not think the Executor is administrating the estate correctly.
