I am the beneficiary of a trust established in my father's will. The trust is administered and managed by Mr. Bright. As the beneficiary, I have made multiple requests for Mr. Bright to disclose all documents relating to my trust. As the trustee, Mr. Bright is required by law to honor my requests for disclosure. Mr. Bright has never provided me with the documents that I have requested; instead, he drafted a one-page summary of my father's will and did not cover any of the details or specifics of my trust. He ignores my emails and has not made any effort to establish a dialogue or create transparency in our relationship. At one point, Mr. Bright insinuated that he is now my father figure and that, financially, I must answer to him. I have recently made the decision to retain my own attorney because Mr. Bright has been unresponsive to my requests and has not honored my rights as a beneficiary to my father's estate.
