Expert Advice When You Need It Most

I am a beneficiary of a living family trust set up in Nevada. Am I entitled to receive a copy of the terms of the trust?

The trust was established by my father and his wife (not my mother). My father recently died, and I received money per the terms of the trust as stated by the trustee. I would like to verify the terms of the trust. Am I entitled to receive a copy of the trust paperwork?

Under Arizona law, yes. Nevada law, I don't know, but if they follow the uniform probate code, then yes.
You or an attorney should make a written request on the trustee for a copy of the trust, and keep a copy of the letter. If you do not get a response within a reasonable time (20 days is reasonable) then set up a consult with a Nevada attorney.
