A: You will have to hire an attorney. If I were the attorney, I would get you appointed the administrator of the estate. Then get that person served and force him or her to come into court and prove that a trust exists. As administrator, you'd be able to get bank statements of the decedent easily and show cash flows.

Sounds like he or she is playing both sides against the middle, claiming that they are the trustee but cliams in court there is no trust? So they have been to court already? This is the point I don't get.

But you need to hire someone quick, because once money goes, it can be gone forever.
