My daughters father died. I was told by his family that he was married and he left nothing for our disabled daughter. Then I was told that they were divorced and his wife could not get anything. Also, they said my daughter will be getting the bal. of the insurance & his trust. They keep asking for her to spend the weekends with them, yet they won't give me any information concerning this trust. I think they want to get her with them and have her sign some papers. Remember my daughter is developmentally delayed. I need help. How can I get information on this trust. By the way, his marriage was a show for a particular card. The two people talking to me in the family are lying to me and acting really strange.

is your daughter is a beneficiary of the trust then she is entitled to a copy. if you are her guardian then you can demand for her from the trustee. if you don't know who the trustee is and no one is fessing up then you might need some additional sleuthing.

Do not let her with these people alone. Trust your instincts. Hopefully, you are her legal guardian, which will allow you to get the trust document. Also, look for the will at the Register of Wills office where the father died.
You really need to get with an experienced estate/orphans court attorney to protect your daughter. The facts presented are complicated and incomplete and these problems are beyond the scope of this forum. So get with an attorney ASAP. Hope this helps.
