What to do if before my father passed away, he told me that I was listed on his Trust but my mother has control of it and will not let me see it?
Does my mother have a legal obligation to show me the Trust or at least notify me? Do I have any rights to see the Trust wheather or not I am listed?

Yes, as a direct heir, your mother has a legal obligation to provide you a copy of the trust of your father, to determine your status as a beneficiary if any, and whether you were left out of the trust provisions and may have a claim as a pretermitted heir.
