What is the name of your state? Florida
My brother, father and I were in business together and just prior to my father's death earlier this year, we had a family dispute and I've come to learn I was disinherited and my brother was made Trustee of his estate. Although my brother and I have had a difficult time resolving the "personal" mess left by our father, my brother claims he will "do right" by me in regards to the estate, but he is not sharing any info with me. I have since learned that my father made my son (his grandson) a beneficiary, but my son has heard nothing from my brother as the Trustee. How long does a Trustee have to notify beneficiaries and is my son not allowed to ask for a copy of the Trust, and an accounting of the assets so we can see what is happening? Should my son request it before or after receiving notice from the Trustee and how long does the Trustee have to respond?
