[WSBAPT] Power of Executor - beneficiary dealing with addiction

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

Greetings List Member -

I was looking through 11.48 et seq and not finding what I was hoping
for......hoping someone may be able to assist with some directional
guidance.

Have a simple estate, everything is going great, except one of the
beneficiaries is in the midst of a substance abuse battle and they are not
winning (currently). The Executor is concerned about giving this person
approximately $300k in the form of a cashier's check.

The Will was one created by a low-cost provider and gives no express powers
or authorization to make any adjustments to how an inheritance should be
conveyed.

Short of going to court and establishing a conservatorship-style situation.
Is there statutory authority for an Executor to convey through alternate
means?

Appreciate any guidance!

Brent
