If part of the trust became irrevocable upon your father's death (or your mother's death, if she and your dad did the trust together), you are entitled to a copy of the terms of the trust. Make the request in writing to your stepmother and cc: her attorney. However, if you never received a "Trustee Notice" it is possible that the trust remains 100% revocable and in that case you are not entitled to see it, or to remain a beneficiary.
