Wht to do if my children’s father passed but is still named in his father’s trust but his sister will not give us a copy of the Will or Trust?
He was to receive the same percentage share as his sister. Other siblings want my former husband’s share divided among them since they were not left as much. My daughter is the one that has taken care of her grandmother and grandfather. The others have not been there until he passed and then came in of course to take everything they could get. Are my children entitled to their fathers share? It was their grandfather’s wishes which he had told both the executor and his granddaughter on more than one occassion. At one point the house and other property was listed him as the successor trustee.

I am so sorry for your loss and for the situation. Please get legal help as soon as you can. The terms of the trust will govern here. Your children should have a right to review the documentation as the legal heirs of a child of the settlor of the trust. But all the documents have to be read in order to determine what will happen. Good luck.
