What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I am an only child of divorced parents, father is deceased. Mother is terminal with hospice and at home under my care. I cannot find the original copy of her living trust, although when she knew she had cancer she sat down with my husband and I and went over all of her accounts and paperwork. Unfortunately, neither she nor I thought about the trust. Now I can't find the original document. The lawyer has the pages with the assets listed, and our broker has a "Certificate of Trust". Under these conditions, what's to be done legally so that I may fulfill my duties as trustee, as well as receiving my inheritance, and will it be expensive and time consuming? Thank you.
