yes i want to know more about a fund for my late husband’s children just for those two young men i would like to do something in memorial for his death he died 2 and a half year’s ago at the of 41 over a drug overdose; he also had a mental illness which could have triggered this death . I have been trying to find his sons as long as he has been pasted and i am still so close in finding them the money needs to go them not their mother; she used their dad and took everything he had pretty much. I see why this man had an alcohol and drug problem between her and his step father no wonder he had problems but i need to find out what i can do about a trust fund for the his 2 sons and have it fixed where their mother cannot get it so if you would please email me back on this.

Thank you, Patty Haupt

I, too, could use a draft of a family trust. I need to establish one but do not have a draft to copy from.

Could you please tell me how to set up a trust fund for my grandson’s three children . He passed away Nov 10-09. The family has nothing. The wife does not and never did know how to manage money. Therefore we, the family, want to set up a trust fund so the children will be cared for now and into the future. I called a lawyer and he wants 1,000.00 to set it up. The brother and sister do not have that kind of money to set this up. Is there a simpler way to do this? I have talked to my bank and they will handle it once it is set up. Do you think you could help me?

Thank You,
Shirley Bartholomew
