Do I have access to my late father’s trust documents?
He had remarried and his wife was also a trustee. I am a beneficiary and am very concerned about how the estate is being handled. I know things are being intentionally hidden from me.

I am so sorry for your loss and for the problems that have ensued. If you are the beneficiary of a trust then you should absolutely receive a copy of the trust document. Also, the trustee has to file an accounting every year under most state laws so you can always keep an eye on things that way as well. Good luck.
