[WSBAPT] Testamentary Gift to Ex-Wife Contingent on Long List of Provisions

[Christina Faucett]

I have a client who wants to write a Will leaving a certain sum to be
distributed in various chunks over time to his ex-wife provided that she
fulfills a long list of provisions. Final distribution would not occur any
earlier than his youngest daughter's graduation from high school (she is
now twelve). My initial thought is that in order to fulfill this bequest he
is going to have to put that sum into a trust for the ex-wife that contains
these provisions, and designate a trustee to make the distributions as he
wants. Is there a better way to do this or am I thinking along the right
line?

Thanks,
Christina Faucett
