Answer

You need to hire an attorney is the first thing. The next thing, because of the self dealing, you would file a suit against the trustee for breach of fiduciary duty and in that action you would seek a complete accounting of the trust. The thing with trusts is the reason people set them up is to keep their financial matters out of the probate court, so your action would be a suit against the trustee for breach of duty to the trust.
