My mom was talking about wills and trusts today. I am considered part of the group that will be in a special needs fund. I don’t totally get everything but my sister is the trustee after my mom dies and then if something happens to my sister or if she is unable to do it my 59 year old uncle who lives really far away will be the next trustee. I’ve only seen him once in 2 years. I’m wondering why it wouldn’t be my aunt who I see all the time or even my other uncle who I’m very close to. I mean wouldn’t you get someone who knows a bit more about the situation then someone who lives on the other side of the country who you see maybe once every 2 years?

Or maybe even my brother in law. I’ll have to ask her why she decided on him. It just seems kind of random tbh.

She said because he’s a lawyer in estates and wills and trusts. So he knows this stuff. She said the distance doesn’t matter. He doesn’t need to live near us to do anything. Plus she said he’s 10 years younger then her and 8 years younger then my uncle and 7 years younger then my aunt. To her it make sense and I guess that’s all that matters.
