Check at the county courthouse probate court for whatever city your aunt died in California to see if there was an estate probated. If there was, get a copy of every document in the file so you can see how the estate was handled. If all assets were put into the trust, there is not going to be a probate because trust matters are handled privately but the trustee, outside of court.

There is no way you will be able to recover your money without getting the assistance of an attorney, so you may want to start contacting various ones in the same city/county where your aunt died to see if one would be willing to help you.

The reason that executrix (if she was also trustee of the trust) hasn't contacted you, which she was normally required to do by law, was that she has possibly stolen or misappropriated the money and doesn't think you are smart or tough enough to do anything about it. Your sons had the rights as beneficiaries to be given information about where there money was being held and when they would receive it. Your attorney will have to send her a certified letter requesting a copy of the trust and an accounting statement. She may or may not respond, in which case your attorney will have to offer that she come up with the money soon or face being sued in court.
