Q: Before final distribution is made can I as a benificiary request an audit/Accounting of the trust?
If so, what exactly can I request?
Payments made, all account totals, total assets? If I feel it is not accurate or something is not adding up , what can I do? Thank you in advance.
A: Yes. If you are a beneficiary of an irrevocable trust you have the right to a full accounting which should show you the starting value of all assets, all transactions that occurred during administration, and the ending balance left to distribute.
