If your mother is the guardian ad litem for a trust account for you and your sisters where she refuses to advise you where the accounts are, she is obligated to do so under the laws of all states in this country since she is your and your sisters' fiduciary.

If she refuses to discuss the whereabouts and amounts of the acounts in your and your sisters' favor, you will need to consult with a Wills and trust attorney about the situation and the legal options for you all to get the information that you are entitled to.
