Update:

My daughter and her siblings still have not received a copy of the trust their father had for when he dies. She ended up writing another letter to the TRUSTEE and CC’d another Uncle and an Aunt since it’s not certain WHO the Trustee is, even though it lists her one Uncle.

The TRUSTEE was legally obligated to send a copy of the trust and all its amendments to the heirs and beneficiaries within 60 days of the kids father’s death. Well, it’s been since July 24, 2023 that he died, and NADA, NOTHING, ZILCH.

She found the CA Probate Code 16061.7 that states, ” The Trustee of a CA Trust is required to provide all beneficiaries and heirs with a true copy of the Trust documents including any amendments 60 days after the settlor’s death(s) to ensure that all parties involved are well informed.”

My daughter’s biological father died July 24, 2023, and none of his 3 kids have received a copy of the Trust, and this is the SECOND time my daughter is requesting one. This time she CC’d the other uncle and now an aunt because the “Trustee” listed isn’t quite sure who is handling it.

At the Memorial Service of their father, and I say father because he was NO DAD or DADDY to any of the kids, but I digress… one of the aunts made sure to tell the kids that they should KNOW their dad paid his child support, and that I should have made sure my daughter knew that. Her older sister apparently said, “Well, we know differently.” and her sister was right.

Hopefully my daughter and her siblings get a copy of the Trust and all it’s amendments, so that they can move forward.

CRAZY. The “Family” is so concerned about the girlfriend/fiancee of their father and want the kids to consider her because she’s living in the house that THEY inherited, and “it’s going to be difficult for her emotionally and financially.” That is their problem how? The woman has lived in that house, financially free for 16-18 years with their father who, by the way, has had nothing to do with his 3 kids in 30 years. Where was his concern or the families concern for these kids for 30 years? OH RIGHT, he turned his life around the last 10-20 years or so and apparently, that’s all that matters, according to another sister of his.

Just Maddening.
