How do i get a copy of a living trust?
My husband's grandmother passed away about a week and a half ago and his uincle has not given him a copy of the living trust. My husband is a beneficiary of the trust and has been trying to get ahold of his uncle (who is 500 miles away) with no luck. How can we get a copy of the trust and find out his rights?
yes, he is still a beneficiary. his uncle told him so the day after his grandmother died. and, no, his father passed away 6 years ago. i don't see how i look greedy because i want a copy of the trust. i know that it will be a while before anything is distributed, we just want to see a copy to see exactly what it says. his uncle lives where she died and we live 500 miles away. when we went up there, he had already practically empited out her house without informing my husband even though he is now part owner, per the trust.
also, no one said anything about trying to change the outcome. we just want to see what is in it. and i know that trusts are not public, but i also know that it is the right of the beneficiaries to see a copy of it. doesn't seem like you read my question.

If you can figure out which attorney the grandmother used to set up the trust, they probably have a copy on file. Some areas require that they be recorded with the county. So try that county recorder's office as well.

The vast majority of Trusts are not public. It is totally up to the trustee to make contact and release the proceeds exactly as defined in the trust agreement. NO law permits and no court can change the provisions or make public the terms if they were not allowed by the agreement itself. This is the very reason trusts are used and don't waste time or money trying to change the outcome. Do not be in a hurry, the terms could hold onto the money for 20 years or more (Usually do not but nothing is out of the range of terms in trust agreements)

are you sure he's still a beneficiary?
Is your husbands Mother or Father still living ( whoever is the Grandmothers child )
immediate relatives should have been given a copy of the will
personally I feel its only been 1 1/2 weeks since her passing- dont act so greedy so soon
