Re-opening a closed Trust

[MarciaG]

I was/am executor for my mother's Trust. The assets have been distributed, and the Trust closed. Now, new assets (stock) have been found. How do I re-open the Trust in order to cash & distribute the value of the stock?

You'll need to apply to the probate court to re-open the estate. As former executor, you have standing to do that, and since there are newly discovered assets of the estate, there is reason to re-open. The court website may provide guidance on how to bring the application, or talk to your court clerk. Don't forget to deal with the tax consequences of the new assets.
