<p class="x_MsoNormal">In my experience, SPR 98.16W is not controlling on a probate disbursement, but a Probate GAL might consult it as to how to handle the proceeds. However, I don’t know that the court has any authority to place it in a trust. The minor has
a vested right to the money at age 18, it could be problematic to try to make arrangements that delay it. With that amount of money, and if the minor has a long way until age 18, it might be worth it to file for Conservatorship, so that the money can be invested
until age 18, rather than in a blocked account.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">This is a new one for me. A minor, an heir to grandmother’s estate, will inherit monies in excess of $100,000.00. The GAL, for the minor, initially recommended those funds be placed in a blocked account until the minor turns 18. Now,
the GAL questions whether Special Proceedings Rule 98.16W(j) controls and that the funds should be placed in a trust. We debated whether that rule even applies to a probate inheritance that has nothing to do with an injury claim, but arguments can be made
both ways. Have any of you dealt with this?</p>
