Not unless that authority has been given to you in the trust document. You can only do what actions are set forth in the document that created the trust.

Can a trustee refuse to give disbursements to a beneficiary under a living person's trust?

No. The trustee only has the power granted in the document that created the trust. If the trust was drafted properly, there are provisions in the trust document for the removal of the trustee and for appointing a new trustee. If not, then the matter can be brought before a judge and the court can remove a trustee who is violating the terms of the trust.


What is the difference between a Trustee and a Trustor of property?

to get a basic concept between the difference of these two, there are basically three basic individuals involved in a trust. The trustor, the Trustee, and the beneficiary. The easiest way to understand this is by illustration. Trustor-------------------->Trustee----------------------->Beneficiary gives $ or property manages $ or property receives $ or use of property As an example, Anne (trustor or donor) wants to give $100,000 to her daughter Marie (the beneficiary), but does not want her to have access all of the money at once. Therefore, she gives the money to Hillary (the trustee) and tells her to only pay her daughter Marie 10,000 per year, over the next ten years. Now there would of course be other variables within this example such as management fees the trustor would charge, as well as accrued interest since the money would be held in a trust fund, but I'm trying to give a simple answer to a simple question.


do i the trustee have to provide copies of my fathers benificiaries, my brothers?

As a trustee, you typically have a legal obligation to provide copies of the trust document and relevant information to the beneficiaries, including your brothers. This helps ensure transparency and accountability in the management of the trust and keeps beneficiaries informed about their rights and interests. It's important to follow the guidelines outlined in the trust document and consult with a legal expert if you have any questions about your duties as a trustee.


Can the executer of a will refuse to give the beneficiary their inheritence?

Absolutely not. And take note, no one is an executor until they have been appointed by a court. The will must be filed in probate and the court will appoint the executor. Once appointed the executor must settle the estate according to the provisions in the will and the state probate laws under the supervision of the probate court. Any executor who fails to perform their duties according to the will and the law can be sanctioned by the court.


If you are a beneficiary to a deceased parents estate and your sister is executor is there a way she can keep your portion from you?

No. She is legally bound to follow what the will says. If, however you are a minor - she may put your share in a trust until you are of legal age. She cannot keep it for herself or give it to anyone else.

Can the trustee of a will give items of the estate to non beneficiaries and refuse an interim distribution to the stated beneficiaries?

The trustee under a will MUST distribute the estate according to the provisions in the will. The trustee does NOT have the authority to make gifts to non-beneficiaries unless that power was granted in the testamentary trust. The trustee should be reported to the court that appointed her/him for mishandling their authority and the estate. You should ask the court to appoint a successor trustee.

How can a beneficiary of a trust get a copy of the trust when the trustee won't give a copy and is borrowing against trust?

You have standing as a beneficiary and should have a copy of the trust. You have an equitable interest in the trust property and the trustee is responsible while he is in charge. If you suspect that the trustee is borrowing against the trust, take him to court. If he is not performing his duties according to law the court will remove him as trustee.As a fiduciary the trustee is bound to do nothing that compromises anyone's rights under the trust. As a fiduciary the trustee has the obligation to grow the assets of the trust rather than waste them. If the trustee is making unsecured, no-interest loans to himself he is not making prudent decisions on behalf of the trust and is acting in conflict with the rights of the beneficiaries.Not providing a copy of the trust to the primary beneficary is illegal in some areas and can be cause for removal of the trustee, and in some cases for termination of the trust.

What are the Rights as trust beneficiary?

In general, you have the right to an accounting. You also have rights to distributions to the extent the trust agreement so provides. However, most trust agreements give the trustee the discretion on whether and when to make distributions.


What are your rights as a beneficiary of a trust from 1998 the trustee would never give you an accounting?

You should consult with an attorney about filing a petition with the court to compel an accounting. A trustee's actions are governed by law and one of a trustee's responsibilities is to provide an accounting. A trustee who misbehaves is personally liable for any damages or waste of trust assets. However, you have waited a long time and there may be a statute of limitations in effect. You may have a valid claim against the trustee and may be able to sue them personally but you must consult with an attorney ASAP.
