My father in law created a family trust for his house upstate and for this house i live in and I borrowed money from my dad to serve both sister in law and my mother in law to produce the will and the trusts, and they refuse to do so,, While my father in law was alive he charged be $700 a month in rent he passed away 5.27.15 and IN june the sister in laws raised my rent to $1588. I feel if there is nothing to hide in the will or the trust they would have produced it to shut us up. I am on disability and cannot afford an attorney so I am seeking a pro bono or a legal aid to take them to surrogates court to produce the will and trust funds and he also for 23 years collected gold coins for the kids and they will not give them those eihter. Please someone help me... My oldest daughter is the administistor of my husbands estate who passed away in 2014 and since then they are treating my kids as if they are total strangers..........
