Loophole in Trust laws ? I can hardly believe what I've learned

Let's say someone creates a trust for some beneficiaries,
then appoints a trustee, then dies without ever telling the
beneficiaries that there is a trust for them.

So, the trustee never informs the beneficiaries
about the trust and simply reaps the rewards of its
asssets, the beneficiaries never being the wiser.

This is what happened to me. And I really must
wonder just how many other people it
might be happening to as we spea... er, as I type !


My Dad made a trust
for my brother and I and he relied on my brother to
tell me about it. But my brother never did tell me
about it It was created for us over 5 years ago
and I only recently found out about it
from a third party by virtue of a simple twist of fate.

Needless to say, I am planning to sue
to have my brother removed as the trustee.

Which brings up a question. I want to get a lawyer to
represent me since I live in an entirely different state from
where the trust exists. To further complicate matters,
the settlors lived in one county and the trustee lives
in another.

So, how can I find out which county in that other state
I should choose to look for counsel in ?

Thanks
Outraged and Disgruntled Dave.
