I believe - but will have to check on this - that your son's great aunt is given the authority to disburse funds as directed her by the will.what I want to know is. simply... what gives his great aunt such autonomous power to wreck a 20 year old kids future? and can she be sued for losses and damages and forced to reinstate the fund so long as he continues full time and maintains a respectable G P A[/
I guess I worded that poorly. I am suggesting he have an attorney review the trust to see if she actually has the authority to do that, and if she does, if there is some mechanism by which she can be replaced as the trustee.It might also be wise to consult the trust.
You know me, I usually am very liberal with the advice to "talk to an attorney", but in this case, the trust might be very clear even to a layman. Yes, if there are still questions after the OP and/or his son read the trust, then an attorney is a good place to go for further review.I guess I worded that poorly.

I agree that it is better to seek clarification from the source before hiring an attorney. An attorney might be necessary later if a problem with great aunt as executor is discovered. She might be doing exactly what she was directed to do.You know me, I usually am very liberal with the advice to "talk to an attorney", but in this case, the trust might be very clear even to a layman.

The math isn't working out on this: he failed one class and dropped another. Unless he was getting As in all his other classes, how did he manage a 3.6 GPA?he flunked and dropped 1 class... we agreed the fund should NOT pay for his failures, but aside from the dropped and flunked class his g p a is in the 3.6 range.. the problem is this quarter.. she changed her mind after it started and left him to rot. a week AFTER the quarter started

Are you suggesting that it would be unwise? If so, please return the favor and explain why.How is that wise? Explain , it will be helpful to mike
A 7 or 10 point scale?The math isn't working out on this: he failed one class and dropped another. Unless he was getting As in all his other classes, how did he manage a 3.6 GPA?
What in the blazes are you trying to say?The executor must follow declaration ,procedural language, of the trust. I do not have the literal document therefor, you will never get an accurate intrepretation for autonomous.
