If my grandmother left me a Trust fund with my aunt as the trustee/guarantor, what can I do if she has not given me any information about the account or disbursements to me?

If my grandmother left me a Trust fund with my aunt as the trustee/guarantor, what can I do if she has not given me any information about the account or disbursements to me?

According to my grandmother’s Will, I was to receive the full dispersement at age 30 (if I remember correctly). I am now 31 and have yet to receive any information concerning the account. My aunt has made payments for medical and educational expenses, as part of the Will states. I have opened my own investment accounts at the request of my aunt so that she’d be able to transfer funds to me, yet she has yet to transfer anything.
