The Accounting
Not a favour.
Not a courtesy the trustee may extend.
A right, which the trustee owes as a fiduciary, and which exists whether the trustee likes it or not and whether the settlor is dead or not.
In this state, when the beneficiary is a minor, that right is exercised on his behalf by his parent or legal guardian.
From the twenty-second of November 2006, I was Silas Thorne’s legal guardian.
Which means that from that date I was entitled, on asking, to a copy of the trust instrument.
