Q: If a trust was set up for a minor to receive the entire trust at age 35, can he contest it and get half when he’s 18?

He has no idea where the money is, how much he gets as he’s older or any details. His aunt is trustee and she has us blocked and ignored calls. I’m afraid there won’t be any money there. This isn’t the only trust she’s in charge of!

Not unless the trust provides for it. There is no basis listed in your question that would give rise to contesting the trust. The trustee is under a fiduciary duty to the beneficiary to ensure that the money is there and that the terms of the trust are followed.
