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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal>Best, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal>Nick<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Nicholas Pleasants | Shareholder </span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='color:black'> </span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal><span style='color:#70AD47'><img border=0 width=223 height=95 style='width:2.3229in;height:.9895in' id="x_Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D8870C.7CBD55D0" alt="OseranHahnAttyatLaw 8"></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal><span style='color:#70AD47'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal><span style='color:black'>11225 SE 6<sup>th</sup> Street | Suite 100 | Bellevue, WA 98004<br>Main: (425) 455-3900 | Fax: (425) 455-9201 | E-mail: <a href="mailto:npleasants@ohswlaw.com">npleasants@ohswlaw.com</a> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'>CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE: This e-mail message contains information belonging to the law firm of Oseran Hahn, P.S., which may be privileged, confidential and/or protected from disclosure.

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?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal>Jeff<o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=xmsonormal><b><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>W.
