<div><br>
</div>
<div>Although I send many thanks to Rob and Judy and others who suggested TEDRA or family settlement agreement,
<i class="">the problem is two beneficiaries who are not family and do not feel the love… </i>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So the question remains, is there a legally defensible definition of “nephew” that will get us there???</div>
