[WSBAPT] Against Public Policy?

[jeffrey winter]

Listmates,


A client would like to change her living trust so that upon her death, her assets would be held in trust for her grandchildren by her sole child (daughter). So far, so good.  However, she also wants to provide that if the daughter ever divorces (or current spouse dies), then all assets go directly to the daughter.


I seem to recall issues of public policy coming into play where a testator specified that the child would only inherit if she married a certain person...is the reverse also true?  Would public policy render enforcement of the desired provision problematic?


Thank you, in advance, for your thoughts.
