We had actually set up a Foundation, but now find that we will change it to
a Fund instead. Advice from lawyers was non-existent, I had to find out the
hard way. We are also thinking of leaving the house to someone who would
continue the work, but again - how does one trust someone to do that -
Thank you so much - I will check them out! Natalie

Also important to check with an attorney in your area to find out if there
are any state laws that may govern either the trust or the process in

Great idea.I can't do that with my house because my husband co owns it (and
has kids) but I gave my vehicle to the trust (so the cats can get to the
guardian who lives in another state) and also a lump sum so the guardian can

Even though I have picked a person (not a family member) and provided
