Best Answer

A trust can be contested on much the same grounds that a will can be contested. However, there is usually a longer period for contesting a trust although it becomes more difficult the longer the trust is in effect.

You need a valid reason to contest a trust. You need to prove the trustor was incompetent or a victim of undue influence, that the trust is technically invalid or there was fraud. Trust law is an extremely complex area of law and you need an expert to represent you in your challenge. Legal costs would be very expensive and the burden of proof is on the person making the contest
