<DIV><FONT size=4>My grantor client provided for his son to be beneficiary of a
trust. The son now has four adult children who are competent. If the
son died before the trustor, the proceeds would go to the issue of son.
The son now wishes to sign a TEDRA agreement whereby the assets can be
distributed to the Trustor who is experiencing medical costs. I think the
son can sign it as the virtual representative of his 4 children because of the
following, but why is this not a conflict of interest between dad and his kids
(who of course would probably never see a benefit because dad will probably
outlive the grantor)?</FONT></DIV>
