We are curious about why Max should be making this crazy d=mand.

One is that he is acting on the instructions of the children= who want to ensure that the Tucson house ends up going to them.

The second is that he is acting on what he takes to be his =esponsibility as Trustee. And is therefore saying that he would only=have been able to agree to distribute $500,000 from the Trust if the house=was owned by the Trust.

Which do you think makes =ense, based on your conversations with him, or is both, or something else.=/div>

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.

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.
