[WSBAPT] Access to trust

[Lisa Schuchman]

Good morning-

I am working with a client whose father died recently in another state (his widow is still living).  The father had a pour over will leaving everything to a family trust administered by one of his adult children.  My client would like to see the trust and his brother is not coöperating.  Under Washington law, wouldn't he be entitled to see the trust?  If so, what statute?  I know the laws may be different where they are, but it might help persuade him.

Thanks.
