Seen a similar situation. Her only real recourse, other than a prolonged legal battle, is to have her father (your grandfather) make out a new legal will/trust whatever. While your mom can encourage him to do this, and you can too. It would be best if he went to a lawyer on his own, made out a new will which also revoked the old one, and had it notarized. It might also not be a bad idea to have it sealed until his death.
So my suggestion would be to encourage him to go make a new will where things are divided evenly. It also might be a good step to try and get him to make you or your mother his power of attorney.
I'm curious though, who made the will/trust that divides it 65/35??
Is he mentally stable?
If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

contesting a will can be a huge battle. Unfourtanitly this sort of thing happens all the time.
My grandmother supposedy told my mom that she was to get evertyhing, but when she died and the will was read, my mom got very little. She now feels like her Aunt, who was given everything is cheating her out of it. She was the whatever you call the person in charge os distributing everything and all that. She gave my mom WAY more than required in the will but there is still a lot of tension.
Unless there is something specific your mom is wanting, or a lOT of money involved, it probably would not be worth the fight and damaging the relationship with her sis.
I would talk to a lawyer to be sure of all your options though. I hate to say it, but the man isnt even dead yet and mom and aunt are already fighting over his stuff!!!
