That seems odd if you plan to act jointly. However, if the trust agreement does not state that you must act jointly, your sister could act without you. If she made a mistake, you could be financially liable as well. Perhaps you should have it reviewed by an attorney and take steps, if needed, to limit your liability.

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
