A family member gifted a portion of an investment property to several family members over a year ago. This property has since been sold and some members have received their money while the "gifter" has held on to a money of a few other members myself included. Is this legal? They claim it has been put in a trust. I thought the funds had to be distributed within (X) amount of time from the sale. Can they legally put my money in a trust without my authorization? Thanks for all thoughts!
