max is worried that if he gives=you money that the children will sue him. I am suggesting that=the children sign a document that says they agree with the distribution an= will hold MAX harmless for making it. .

yes, or they can indemnify max for making the distributions you request. . that is easier if max agrees. . I =ont know your relation to max , but merely asking him to resign and apppoint<=r> someone else is also an alternative

Once I have sent the memo to yo= we can discuss your thoughts and we can then respond to Max.

Pleas= see my email of 10/17 for an explanation of some of the issues.

In this regard, =lease refer to my email of 10/17 where I summarize the trustee removal, re=ignation and appointment provisions. The trustees can both resign at any t=me. They appoint successors subject to your approval. If they agree to res=gn you can find a new independent trustee whom they can appoint. If not, y=u can remove them but only with the approval of a majority of your childre=. Do you think your daughters would agree to remove Max and Harry? If so y=u could then appoint a successor. You would need to find an independent tr=stee. I can help you craft a letter to your daughters if you think t=ey might agree to do this.

> My one additional thought right now that I need to review more closely=is that Harry, not being the independent trustee, should not have a say in=the distribution decision. If there is nothing in the trust to contradict =his interpretation (I need to review the trust again) then Max alone has t=e power. However this would likely not change the analysis that Max believ=s he needs to go through since he is accountable to all beneficiaries..=A0 He believes he needs some level of financial information from you but i= my view that does not need to be detailed. I can discuss with him w=at level of detail would satisfy him; however, if my understanding is corr=ct that you do not wish to provide him with any backup for his distributio= decision, then we should evaluate the removal option and any other strate=ies I may be able to come up with.
