settlement question

[bmw53587]

I am about to settle a case with doctos insurance company with my lawyer. The money figure is known part of it will go on my daughter trust fund and the other would be for me and my wife. The lawyer is planning to setup an independent trustee to manage my daughter's fund. Is there something to watch for here in terms of settlement or trust fund, etc.

I am not sure what you mean, but if you are inching towards a power of attorney thing or amount, it is always a good idea to get a second attorney to just review the documentation so you ensure you aren't being railroaded.
