An other thread about trusts annuities and has me thinking. DW and I have agreed that we will include some amount in our Wills for our grandchildren in the case that our children (their fathers) predecease us. There will also be some left directly to our children's spouses. While the grand children are minors and for a few years after that, we have mentioned that their portions will be in the form of a trust with their remaining parent as the Trustee. I am unfamiliar with trusts in general. Will this require the executor of our Wills to setup the trust? Or is that something that should be done some time beforehand. I find the latter to be foolish as we do not know if it would be used. Also, can the executor, not follow our instructions and give it all to their remaining parent?
This directive is the third level of our Wills and will likely not be called upon to be followed. Still, I would like to know more about trusts for minors mentioned in Wills.
