How do I locate my trust fund if I am the beneficiary?

Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
You need to hire a private attorney and petition the probate court in the appropriate county for an accounting from the trustee or guardian. I suggest you start interviewing probate and trust lawyers to see if they can assist you, and to see what they will charge. It all depends on the circumstances of your trust, but it may be possible for an attorney to structure a fee arrangement so that some part of the fee is paid after you receive monies from the trust.
