Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

If you are receiving grant money to build and you die, isn't that grant money gone? I was told by the descendant that if "he" died, no one would have the money to build because they would not receive the grant money. Later I find out the grant money was given, but how can that be, it's only associated with the descendant, so how can the PR get grant money not associated with them? Can they get it through a joint account? That's it, right? A joint account!! It's all fraud. How else? Thank you.

The grant language controls. It needs to be reviewed to determine if the money is paid to descendants after the death of the grantee, who is the decedent.

I agree that the grant language controls and the document needs to be reviewed in order to answer your question.
