Absolutely. What is the purpose? Is it for limitation of liability, if so there is a better way. If it is for distributing a certain piece of property to a certain person, this can be accomplished this way or there is a better way to do this.

I don't think there's a cut-and-dry answer to your question, especially without more information. As the mother of his children, it's saddening that he is being secretive with regard to the trust. If the children are minors, as their legal guardian, you may be able to demand an accounting of the trust on your children's behalf. However, some trusts are written in such a way that the trustee does not have to provide an accounting at the beneficiaries' request. It just depends on the wording of the trust. I think you'll have a particularly difficult time if the trust is a Revocable Trust. If you think action needs to be taken to protect the rights of the children under the trust, then you should contact an attorney in your area to see if you can get some movement.

If the facts are as you represent then something is wrong.  You should run not walk to a real estate or probate and estate planning lawyer to see if you have a remedy.
