[WSBAPT] Decl. of Completion sent to named beneficiaries (who received their inheritance under will) AND heirs who received nothing?

Tue May 27 11:39:18 PDT 2014

Hi All,

I am closing up my first “normal” probate – solvent estate, clear Will
with no bond and nonintervention powers.  We are ready to file the
Declaration of Completion and send out Notice of Completion to
beneficiaries.  I notice it says in the documents I have that the “heirs
or beneficiaries who remain entitled to distribution from the estate” are
the people who are entitled to Notice of probate closing.  There are 3
named beneficiaries in the Will of decedent father.  All three are the
only children of decedent.  The remaining heirs (who were not named in the
will) are all grandkids.  Can I just send Notice of Filing of Decl. of
Completion (with the Decl. of Completion) to the three named Ben’s, or do
I need to send it to ALL Ben’s and Heirs, whether or not they were to
receive anything under the Will?

Much thanks,

Subject: [WSBAPT] QTIP TRUST

Listmates,

I have drafted a living trust that includes a QTIP trust as well.  The
couple is married and they both have children from a previous marriage.
The goal is that if the husband dies first, that the wife be able to use
the income from his trust (The Decendent's Trust or Husband's Trust) and
when the wife passes away, the remainder of his trust shall go to his
children from a previous marriage.  This all works with a QTIP trust.
However, there needs to be a trustee of the Husband's Trust.  The husband
does not trust the wife to leave money for his children.  Therefore, he
was going to name his son as the trustee of his trust (The Husband's
trust) when he passes away.  The husband and wife remain trustees of the
living trust while they are both alive.  The son is also a beneficiary of
the Husband's trust.  This does not seem like an ideal situation.

Does anyone have suggestions?  I suggested that the parties have a bank
trustee who is a neutral party but they did not want to spend the money to
do that.  

Thanks,

Jenna Brozik
