Dear Ginnie -

I agree with Jo*mar. If the attorney that set up the trust can be of any help, that would be GREAT.

And I also understand how hard this must be on you. And how depressed you must be. And that my last set of questions must have been overwhelming.

But please, if the attorney who drafted the trust can't or won't help, and you need me to try be of some assistance, then see if you can answer just two of my last three questions, as broken down and rephrased into three hopefully clearer requests for information/clarification:

(1) Has a conservator has been appointed for you?

(2) Does the SSDI money go first to you and into your account when issued by the government, or to someone else, such as your son?

(3) If if you know, do the trust documents say anything specific about how property taxes and/or insurance will be paid on the house and whose responsibility it is to do so?

And then finally, when you say the family makes a decision or takes a vote, just how is it that it's binding on you? Or what may be another way of getting at the same thing, Who is the trustee (administrator) of your mother's trust?

And once more, if you are not comfortable answering this in the forum, which is freely available to outside internet users and/or search engines, feel free to send me a private message (PM).

But please, if the attorney who drafted the trust isn't going to be of any help, try to answer these questions, as best you can. Thanks!

Mike
