<div dir="ltr"><div>I agree with Mark. 11.98B.010(9) says: "Trust director" means a person that is granted a power of direction
by the terms of a trust to the extent the power is exercisable while
the person is not serving as a trustee. The person is a trust director
whether or not the terms of the trust refer to the person as a trust
director and whether or not the person is a beneficiary or settlor of
the trust.</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Ann Manley, Esq.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"></span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">The Manley Law Firm, P.S., Inc.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">PO Box 16324</span><br><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"></span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Seattle, WA 98116</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"></span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><a value="+12062923064">(206)292-3064</a> / <a value="+12062923914">(206)292-3914</a> fax</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><a href="http://www.manleyfirm.com" target="_blank">www.manleyfirm.com</a></span></div><p><b style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The Manley Law Firm practice areas include Bankruptcy*, Estate Planning, Auto Accidents, Civil Litigation, Construction, Commercial and Contract Law, Personal injury, Small Business, Unemployment Claims, Wage Loss and Compensation claims</span></i></b><br></p><p><i><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:8pt">* The Manley Law Firm is a Debt Relief Agency.
