Is there anyway to get life insurancethat Iwas left before myformer guardians sayI can have it?
I was left life insurance it was supposed to be put into a trust but never was. I have since turned 18 and I no longer live with my previous guardians. There was nothing in the Will that stated what age I was to receive the insurance.

I do not hve a good feeling about all of this. Are you sure that the fund still exist? You need to see the document that created the trust which is ususally a court order (since you were a minor) and generally speaking if the Will is silent then it would be 18 (or legal age in your state). I would go and see legal aid or turn to another adult you trust to help. Good luck.
