[WSBAPT] Trust going to China

[Mark Vohr]

Hoping to help the PI bar.  Have a Chinese National who has a large injury settlement (beneficiary).  Her daughter, who lives in China, is her Agent under a DPOA.  Daughter wants to move mother (bene) back to China.  The Washington courts have jurisdiction over the settlement funds and, along with the SGAL must consider SPR 98.16W.   Ohana being considered as trustee, but attorney for bene (the PI lawyer) is not in favor of setting up a US based trust for someone moving to China to be looked after by Chinese daughter in China, which I can understand.

I'm a bit out of my depth here, but it seems to me that the family needs to speak with an attorney here in the US who is fluent in Chinese trust law.  Of perhaps an attorney in China who can figure this all out.  Any thoughts?

Regards,

Mark
