By using the word Trustee, I assume your mother set up a trust and nmaed your sister as the trustee. You can ask for an accounting from the Trustee. If it is not forthcoming, you will need to file a lawsuit in superior court in the county where your sister lives and ask the court to order her to produce an accounting.
