WEll, what is the answer??? Was it legal or not....no one seems to know.......

And do you know why? Because we don't have the trust documents in front of us to study.

Go see a Probate attorney and ask this question. But make sure you have a copy of the trust documents and any other documents whereby the court appointed the son as trustee.

It was a boiler plate living trust..nothing unusual at all......does that help you?

Not really.

There's not just one boiler plate that exists in the entire world...
