If your father was dealing with the trust fund that your great aunt created for you, the best way to get the information you want concerning it is to simply ask your father about it. If he refuses where he is the presumed trustee under it from your question where he has an obligation to provide you with the information, the best way to try and accertain its location is to contact other relatives about it or retain an attorney to represent you to get the information you want.
