<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Julie,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That is interesting as I have not heard that would be permissible if the trust was not in the will. There are
<i>Anderson v. Dussault</i> implications (e.g. Minor’s due process rights), especially if the trust extends past age 18. I would be happy to consult on the situation to understand better why the GAL is recommending a settlement trust. I have drafted Minor Settlement
Trusts for tort cases. Other frequent drafters would be Brothers & Henderson or Isenhour & Bleck.
