I would highly recommend you get a lawyer and sue the trust if the lawyer thinks you have a chance.

"What if the beneficiary is incarcerated can the state take the money

A: The beneficiary is entitled to the inheritance, and nobody else, including the State, can take the money. The incarcerated beneficiary's share of the inheritance should be held in Trust until he/she is no longer incarcerated. The estate's Executor or Successor Trustee has a duty to ensure the incarcerated beneficiary's share is held in Trust until it is accessible upon his release from being incarcerated.
