If the attorney was an active member of the bar at the time your trust was drafted, it was valid then and remains valid now despite the attorney's disbarment.

The status of your former attonrey has no bearing on the validity of the documents. However, this may be a good opportunity to find a new attorney to work with who can review your current docuemnts to make sure they are set up the best possible way and to confirm asset ownership in the trust. Good luck. -John
