Retain counsel to investigate. Was there a will? Did the estate go to probate? Have you seen a trust agreement?

Agree with Mr. Slater. As a beneficiary and interested person, you are entitled to

information and full accounting of estate payment of expenses, debts, and

distribution to beneficiaries. As a minimum, the trust agreement should have

been filed and made available to you.

Run to an attorney. don't wait too long - assets have a way of disappearing.
