What is the name of your state? MA
My grandmother passed away 4 years ago and left most of her estate in a trust "for the health, education and well being" of my children. She made a lawyer as the trustee. She has given me disbursments based on actual reciepts for various things. My heater let go in my mobile home this week and I do not have the money to replace it nor can I afford any more debt. She refuses to pay for the heater, with her argument being that it will upgrade my dwelling in the event I'm to sell it. I say that heat is a necessity and is in the best interest of my children. I also believe the trust is intened as a "support" trust as I am a single parent as was my Grandmother. What rights/recourse do I have as my children's gaurdian?
