It depends upon the terms of the trust. But generally, in California, if you are a beneficiary of the trust, the trustee has to give you notice of the terms of the trust (in other words, a copy of the trust) within 60 days after the new person becomes trustee or the trust becomes irrevocable. Trusts often become irrevocable when the creator of the trust passes away. Also, if you are a beneficiary and you request the terms of the trust, the trustee has to provide you with them. Of course, it's best to make the request in writing.
