Your mother could specify whatever terms she wished in her trust, and different clients will have different wishes.  You must read the trust to determine what those wishes are.  Sometimes a trust will split into separate trusts for each child, other times a trust will continue in effect until the youngest child attains a certain age.  Often a trust will provide for "discretionary distributions" for a beneficiary's health, education, and support.  But to determine what your mother actually did you must read the trust.
