It is unclear to me what exactly you mean.  If the Trust was set up for settlement funds for your son (generally because he was a minor at the time) that settlement and the placement was approved by the court and should be in the Infant Compromise Order in the Court file and his attorney would have a copy. You may or may not be able to add to that account (I would think you would not be able to do so).  Good luck.
