<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a client who wants to set up a testamentary Special Needs Trust for his adult son with Down Syndrome, but is at a loss as to who to appoint as Trustee. He does not have any friends or family members who he feels are suited for the
job or who would not be susceptible to influence by his former spouse (his son’s mother) who has battled alcohol and gambling addictions for years. Any recommendations for a professional Trustee for Special Needs Trusts? The client would prefer a Trustee in
Thurston or Pierce County, but that’s not a deal breaker.<o:p></o:p></p>
