[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has a very small family.  One sister, parents.  His father just died leaving a marital deduction trust, or bypass trust, and a family trust with percentages created for both children and four grandchildren.

[b]My husband’s sister is mostly talking with the attorney named as executor of the Will.  She keeps telling us that no one gets money until their mother dies.    I told her that was inaccurate and that the family trusts will be funded with the assets that didn’t go into the marital trust and should be available once funded[/b].   Am I wrong?   [/quote]

The reason people are jumping on you OP is because of THIS.  Your DH's sister is talking to the attorney (not you), so she is getting legal guidance from someone who understands the actual will/trust.  Unless you are an estate attorney, and have reviewed the trust document, you have no business telling his sister she is wrong/inaccurate. You are trying to paint a rainbow of potential trust situations as being black and white, and the only person qualified to explain any of this with any legal certainty is the estate attorney.  So you just come across as being focused on claiming to know better than his sister (and the attorney advising her) and getting your hands on the "should be available" monies.  If you phrased this paragraph differently you stood a better chance of getting less critical replies. [/quote]
