There is no single trust database; rather, each trust is under the control of the trustee, such as a bank or investment firm. The only solution is to call every financial institution your father might have been involved with.

How can i get access to a trust fund?

You cannot get access to a trust fund. A trust is managed by a trustee and the trustee is the only person with the authority to access the trust property. The trustee must manage the trust according to the provisions set forth in the trust document. If you are a beneficiary of the trust you should ask the trustee for a copy so that you can review the terms.


Do trust funds run out of money?

Yes, trust funds can run out of money; they can also last indefinitely, depending upon how they are managed and how they are set up. Nobel Prizes are paid for by a trust fund set up by Alfred Nobel; there is no expectation that the fund will run out and that the prizes will cease to be awarded. But funds have to be invested, and investments can do well or badly. And even if the money in a trust fund was invested wisely, that money can still be spent. For example, trust funds are often used to safeguard money for the benefit of people who are not yet adults and who cannot be trusted to spend their money wisely while they are still minors. But once they become adults (or when they reach whatever age is specified by the terms of the trust fund) they then have access to that money and can spend it. And if they can spend it, they can use it up. Of course, you could also devise a fund that only pays the interest on the fund, and never pays out the principal. That kind of fund can potentially last a long time, but again, only if the investment decisions are wise.


How do you find if a trust fund still exists that your grandfather set up for you when you were born but you were never contacted when he died?

If your grandfather's estate was probated you could go to the court and examine the probate file. You should examine the inventory for bank accounts and also examine the will for any mention of accounts or trusts that were set up for grandchildren. However, a trust may not show up at all in the estate. Check with the attorney who handled the estate. You could also ask your parents if they remember any more details about the trust fund. If they know the name of the law firm that represented him in life, or his bank, perhaps someone there could help you. His attorney may have a copy of a trust instrument. If there was a trust fund set up then there was also a trustee.


If you were told you had an Oregon trust fund that you would receive when you were 26 or went to a University how would you locate this trust fund with no other info?

There is no single repository where all trust funds are registered. You would need to know the name of the grantor to get started. You should begin by asking the person who provided this vague hint of a benefactor more questions. Where did they hear of the trust? What is the name of the trust? Is it a family trust or some type of charitable trust for which you are eligible? Who funded the trust? Why are you a beneficiary? You could try to research family probates of affluent antecedents or those who never married or never had children of their own. Perhaps a trust was set forth in a will that was probated.
