My parents set up a dynasty trust for their children and grandchildren that was funded with one policy. After my father died my mother added onto the ILIT with another new policy from a separate life insurance company. Initially she named the trust as owner/bene but did not complete the entire app until a few months later when she made the trustees of the trust ( 2 siblings) the owner/bene but did not do so as "trustee." I feel lthis was done by my siblings without children pressuring her.
When she died the probate attorney said that the proceeds of the life insurance in question should have gone into the dynasty trust as the premiums were gifted on form 709 for 10 years as being part of the trust and even had gst allocations. However, the siblings did not put it into the trust but paid it out to the rest of the siblings which meant the grandchildren were left out.
My question: In a court of law do I/or the grandchildren have a case and a right to get the moneys disbursed "wrongly" back into the trust or does the life insurance app as written though wrongly prevail? Thanks
