This is not good. You have no way to know if someone is stealing from the trust or charging excessive fees.

I would see if their is a way to get a copy of the trust and financial records. If you are one of many benefiting from the trust then maybe this is what the grantor wanted.

Well the exec is my lawyer father and and the F/A is a trusted family friend. The trust included my grandmother and brother. When my grandmother passed it became just my brother and I. I am pretty sure my dad wouldn't steal from me so there is that.

I was thinking of a Corporate trustee not a family member. I see why he says what he does.

You are likely a beneficiary to someone else's trust. So you did not put in the assets but they came from someone else like parents or grandparent. The trust may have been made for you or to benefit you, or even to protect yourself form spending all the assets recklessly, but its not 'yours' in the ownership realm.

Right... it was from my grandfather. The trust owns ALL of the assets.
