If I’m a beneficiary to my late grandmother’s Trust of my grandma but I have not received any information about my share, what are my legal rights?
We do have a copy of the Trust. My grandmother died about 1 1/2 years ago.

I am so sorry for your loss. You have many rights that include reviewing the accounting that is generally required by every state to be filed yearly regarding the Trust Assets and activities. The trustee must be transparent in their activities as fiduciary and you have every right to ask questions or hire an attorney to do so on your behalf. Good luck.
