Norfolk, VA asked in Estate Planning for Delaware

Q: Is it proper in a Trust?

Is it proper ,in a Trust's checking account, in published checks, the trustee puts her name and address at least twice as large as the name of the Trust, and omits the sole beneficiary's name (which is part of the Trust legal name/title) and omits the E.I. N. number indicating this is a business by the I.R.S., and the name of the Trust is wrong, both in name and type of Trust. The trustee refuses to give any accounting and will not reveal any financial statements. What do you believe may be going on and what can I do?
