Aunt Withholding The Trust Money From Me

Card image cap

Location: Kentucky/Indiana

So, early in 2025 my grandmother passed away and she left a sizeable amount of money for me in a trust that my aunt is the trustee of. It's meant to be used for things like a car, a home, etc. Early in the process, I told my aunt that I wanted to buy my grandmother's house and she was ecstatic about it. However late last year, about December, I revealed to her that my mother and I were going to be moving down to Kentucky and that I was no longer going to be buying my grandmother's house.

Ever since then, when I've tried to get in contact with her about purchasing properties to move into she just leaves me completely on read and when she does get back into contact with me she makes things exceedingly difficult. However I'm debating whether I want to move back to Indiana, and all of a sudden once I became interested in my grandmother's house again my aunt is more than happy to get things finalized so I can buy the property as soon as possible. So now I feel stuck. She'll leave me on read for weeks when I send her a property I'm looking at but she'll respond back within a few hours when I texted her about my grandmother's house.

Is there anything I can do? I feel like if I don't move back to Indiana then I'll just keep having this back and forth with my aunt where I keep trying to get into my money but she'll keep ignoring me and making things difficult. It's like she won't let me buy anything that she doesn't want me to buy.
