I am the settler and the beneficiary of a trust fund but the trustee won't tell me where the trust fund is

Answer 1

Let me guess until you pay a certain fee? If that is the case just another scam. Don't fall for it

Answer 2

The trustee is required to abide by the conditions of the trust. He may not be allowed to tell you. However, as the beneficiary you should be able to ensure that the trustee is performing his duties properly. If the donor is alive and available, you could ask for some information from him. He does not have to tell you anything. If you cannot get any answers, you should talk to an attorney and explain the situation.

Answer 3

You don't need to know, as long as you receive the benefits as specified in the trust. The estate still belongs to the owner of the trust, or is the legal property of the trust itself, and not to you, so it's none of your business which bank or account they choose to keep it in.
If you feel the trustee is mismanaging the trust, then you should contact the owner of the trust, or a lawyer who will deal directly with the trustee.

Answer 4

Start calling banks...there is no such thing as a "settler" I am not sure what you are referring to in regards to that. You could also call the attorney that drew up the trust documents and they would be required to tell you where the trust is held. Obviously you know about the trust meaning you have the will or the document itself so you should start there.

Answer 5

It's Settlor. If you're both the settlor and beneficiary sounds like you got a blind trust.

And if you're the beneficiary you can demand to know where the trust is - you have a vested interest iun the trust property.

Answer 6

There are a lot of websites that talk about the law. There is even one that I went to recently (can't remember where) that answered legal questions, and even quoted state statutes.

Sometimes you can call an attorney and they will give you a free 1/2 hour to see what your problem is and whether they want to take it on. Good luck! Seems to me that unless you are very young, you should have some knowledge of where your money is.
