Read moreWe can’t answer your question for certain without seeing your mother's trust, but it sounds like the trust should be changed to have your brother's share of the assets stay in trust for his benefit.

I strongly recommend that your mother meet with the attorney who originally drew up her documents or with another estate or elder law planning attorney.
