My mother remarried about 40 years ago after my father passed away, they purchased a business with the insurance money and went on to do very well, me and my sister have been very suspicious that he has been secretly setting up our step siblings for years. My step father loaned one of my step sisters a large amount to buy 4 investment properties, I looked up the tax assessors documents and those properties are listed under a partnership with a lawyer who does estate planning, I know my step father is up to something but was hoping I could get some insight into exactly what.

Insight from who? Strangers on the internet who don't know anything about your step-father, his business affairs, or how much of them your mother approves of?

People use trusts to reduce excessive government theft, also known as TAXES.

PEOPLE also use trusts to keep nosey people from discovering their financial affairs.

Children have no inherent right to inherit anything from their parent(s).

Whatever your mother does with her finances is NONE of your business.

What did your mother and step father say? They are the ones that will answer your questions.

Damn, a cliffhanger!

Probably the most common reasons why folks create trust is to avoid probate after they die.

You can google "why do people create trusts" for more information.
