My dad passed away almost 2 years ago. In his Will he left 2 specific properties to his husband and his sister. He also co owned at least 2 rental properties as tenants in common with his husband, which are not specifically mentioned in the Will. The Will leaves his 'residuary estate' in trust with the sole trustee being his husband. It states that on and upon the distribution date the fund trustee holds the fund for his children (myself and my brother). Distribution date is stated as the earliest of either the death of his husband or when his husband relinquishes or compounds the entitlement, or the date of any other event which terminates such an entitlement.
My dad's husband hasn't spoken to myself or my brother since the day of my dad's funeral and has blocked/ignored any attempted contact, which is obviously causing us problems.
My question is, how do we know what was contained in the trust at his death, how do we know his husband hasn't changed this and and how would we know when the trust is terminated/his husband sells/dies?
