You said 'successor trustee' is a problem.  If you meant that non citizen trustee is a problem, then no issue.

Not sure what your question is:  why no problem to have beneficiaries throughout the world or why having non-US Citizens as Trustees creates problems.

My office phone is 425-455-6788 if you'd like to call to discuss.

Nothing special in the drafting simply because one of the possible beneficiaries resides outside of the US.  It would be a big deal if the first successor Trustee was a non-US Citizen.

Subject: [WSBARP] Trust Property Purchase Question

Listmates,

PC has an estranged spouse that they have not communicated with in many years.  They were married in Washington but the spouse moved back to the Philippines after they split.  PC enters into an agreement to purchase property without even thinking about the estranged spouse.  Closing is supposed to happen on 9/8 and yesterday title discovered that PC is still married (oops!).

Lender and title have confirmed that they will still lend and insure, respectively, if PC sets up a revocable living trust and has the trust purchase the property.  This seems like a pretty simple solution that will satisfy lender and title and allow the transaction to close.  Has anyone seen this before?  What issues or concerns should be taken into consideration?

Second issue for bonus points: PC has three children that are here in the U.S. and one child that is in the Philippines and is a citizen of the Philippines.  Assuming that PC purchase property through the proposed RLT, what needs to be taken into consideration given the non-resident beneficiary?

Thanks.

Sam
