[quote=Anonymous]We spent a lot of time not agreeing. None of the siblings would raise our kids “just like us.” We had a couple of cousin options, but one”s kids are older and we didn’t think they want to start over (our kids are very young), and the other is wrapped up significantly in the other side of the family. What was important to us was they be raised with similar values (including education, worldview, etc. but also someone who would make sure they would see both our families a lot. We settled on my sister. DH wasn’t thrilled as they are not as focused on education as us, and they watch way too much tv/iPad, but my sister and BIL would adore them and treat them as their own, AND make sure they saw my DH’s family regularly. We picked the aforementioned cousin as trustee as my sister/BIL are not experienced with large amounts of money, and he (cousin) would focus on using the money wisely but also be generous in that wisdom. I think we did as well as we could.[/quote]
