Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: release of funds from trust

I do not know if you are referring to an heir of an estate or to a beneficiary of a trust. If you are talking about a release of some money to one person before the estate or trust is settled, then usually the consent of all other interested parties is required.

Re: release of funds from trust

It depends on the terms of the trust.

It is possible that the trustee has discretion to disburse funds as needed, but I can not be certain without first reading the trust itself, my apologies.

If you would like to send me a copy of the trust, I'd be happy to lok it over so I can give you a more difinitive answer.

If you would like to discuss this matter in a more private forum, please feel free to contact me directly at the email provided by LawGuru or through our firm�s website located at PasadenaEstatePlanning.com.
