As a trustee of my deceased mother's living trust, I am about to sell the final trust asset, a home, for $212k. The trust, formed in MN and holding the home in MN, requires the income from the sale to be split between two beneficiaries. Is there anything I can do to reduce the trust's tax liability, such as through charitable donations, and can a charitable donation be allowed as a tax deduction?

I am a 61-year-old disabled individual with a trust worth over $92,000 managed by Vanguard. My trustee, Theresa Rawdin, is causing financial and medical damages. I have had bones removed from both shoulders, making writing difficult. I have not worked in 25 years and rely on SSI and half of my father's pension. I have consulted with several attorneys, including a probate attorney, who referred me to legal aid. Legal aid classified my case as a personal injury case, but other attorneys say it's a civil law case. My main issue is that I do not have access to my trust funds due to issues with my trustee. What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
