As you are still a minor, you cannot "take control': you will need someone to represent you. If a trust was established for you, the trustee has an obligation to make sure the trust assets are not lost or distributed improperly. The trustee also needs to make annual reports of the status of the trust. Contact that person and ask for a copy of the trust and an update on the value of the assets. It is possible that the trust legitimately allows for distributions of funds to your parents to pay for your living expenses, health care, education, etc. It is also possible that the trust is set up so that you can't have access to the funds until you are an adult.
