Another headache first.
If you don't know, when you set up a trust, every asset you have must go into the trust. One trust to rule them all and in the darkness bind them. Easy.
When my father passed and the new trust was to be written, for whatever reason, my mother neglected to do that. All her cash accounts all go to separate beneficiaries. She did not make the trust beneficiary. Now, each of my sisters and I have to fill out separate paperwork to get the money. And this cash wasn't to go to us, it was to got the grandkids. We will each get checks. The checks will be cashed and the money sent to me. I will then have to send the money to the kids. Too many unnecessary steps

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
