Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My wife and her sister recently lost their father. He had considerable assets. The Step Mother told the girls that their father had a living trust and that he left everything to her. However the Step Mother will not let the girls see the Living trust. Do the girls have a right to see the Trust???

Under the California Probate Code, all heirs of an estate are entitled to a copy. A demand letter should be sent to the Step Mother.

This is not legal advise and a complete review of your situation would be required to render such advise. I am not your attorney, unless and until, I am formally retained.
