I really want to do the right thing here. If I need to consult a tax attorney, someone please just say so.
You need to contact local legal counsel (and probably a local tax professional), because trusts, although many have much in common, are generally drafted for each individual scenario (including the property involved). As a result, any advice would, of necessity, have to be based upon the terms of the trust (which none of us here can read).
