<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Parents (now deceased) left a special (non-testamentary) Supplemental Needs Trust for her lifetime for one of four children, who, everyone agrees, has outgrown any concern over her handling money. The trustees
have 100% discretion to distribute income and principal to her. She has three living siblings and no deceased siblings. Two are her trustees. She has a limited power of appointment upon her death but if she doesn’t exercise it, then it goes to her sole child,
an adult son (but actually in a support trust again i.e., until he is 45), should she die before the trust funds are exhausted. If he predeceases her, it goes to any further descendants she may have (none now) or to her siblings or their children, by right
of representation. If no surviving siblings or their children, to the grantor’s descendants. The siblings and the son are in agreement to terminate the trust.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">If it is absolutely necessary, the children of the siblings would be willing to sign as well, except for a great nephew who just turned 1. So remote, but I suppose a possible heir.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">What if any pitfalls do you foresee if we do a TEDRA signed by all to terminate the trust, legally and tax wise? Seems too simple to be feasible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
