Can my gf get legal control of her trust from other family members?
Location: Texas, USA
My gf is an adult college student with a long, complex history of family shenanigans that have resulted in an abnormal upbringing with her grandparents and other family members, despite her parents generally still being around. She was a kid when her grandparents died, and part of their will was a trust to help with college and her early career.
The big problem with this setup is that her uncle (who is generally unresponsive and lives in a completely different state) is financially responsible for the trust, and her aunt (closeby, but loves to guilt trip my gf and her dad with this and she just kinda sucks from an outside perspective, but that's beside the point) is responsible for her insurance and other things. She's had trouble reaching her uncle when it comes to paying for tuition, getting an apartment, and other important financial issues, and she's trying to involve her aunt in as little as humanly possible for her own sanity and the sake of their relationship.
After a tough day of talking with her about all this, she said she doesn't think there's anything to be done legally about getting control of this trust because it was written into her grandparents' will when she was a child, but I couldn't help myself from asking Reddit. Is there anything that she or her parents can do to gain legal control over this trust?
