Greetings List -

Trustee of a HEMS trust that provided for nothing specific other than
college education (in addition to Health, Education, general maintenance
and support) would like to purchase a car with the money. The beneficiary
just turned 18. The trust is through the age of 25.

When I have my estate planning hat on - when I do HEMS testamentary trusts,
I ask my clients if they would like to allow for car purchase and have them
establish parameters (a Bentley is as much as car as a Honda).

I have never come across this situation to date on the administration side
from a Will that didn't expressly allow.

Appreciate thoughts and experiences.
