Please note that each State has their own laws in regards to this so you need to check them out. This is a problem that happens in every family usually due to sibling rivalry, greed, or whatever motivates them. Like my cousin said, when there's money involved, the true nature of the your loved ones and/or siblings emerges and it is always shocking.

I too thought my Mom's trust was SOLID and as fair as it could be but I found out that there was a lot of deception happening for years behind the scenes that I was not aware of. Your loved ones/siblings can vote against you and than there are "conflict of interests" and all kinds of inequity. The problem is you are stuck because your are the loner; not included in their decisions or transparency. They are working together against you. So, who would believe you; they have the goods, you just have a piece of paper which isn't working for your team.

Although people say you should never sue your family; sometimes that is the ONLY cause of action you have to possibly get anything.
But it is costly and psychologically demeaning.

Per Florida Law here is what they suggest:
If you suspect your siblings are cheating you out of your trust in Florida, you can take action immediately, as the state has a four-year statute of limitations on inheritance disputes. You can try these steps:
Contact a trust and estate litigation attorney
An attorney can help you review wills and trusts, investigate allegations of fraud, and represent you in court. They can also help you negotiate settlements with other heirs and plan your estate to avoid future disputes.
Request an inventory
Ask the executor, trustee, personal representative, or estate administrator for an accounting of the trust assets or probate estate.
Gather evidence
Keep information about any unusual or suspicious behavior, including dates and times, around the time of the theft.
Consider mediation
If direct communication doesn't resolve the conflict, mediation can help siblings reach an agreement. A neutral third party can facilitate discussions, which is usually less expensive and time-consuming than litigation.
If you suspect your siblings stole property from an irrevocable trust, they may be prosecuted as civil offenders. The courts may remove them from their executor role, force them to pay back the stolen assets, and even pay your legal fees. They may also face criminal prosecution, which could result in jail time, a fine, or both.

The choice is up to you and the road is not an easy one. Hoping this will assist my cousins, friends, etc who may be experiencing the same dilemma. If your parents have a trust, go to you own Lawyer and make sure you understand each and every part of the legal verbiage so there are no surprises down the line.

God Bless!
