The wills have been executed.
The deceased will stated the 6 yo got a trust fund with the money.
The wife got a little bit, but nothing compared to the entire estate.
Wife has custody of the 6 yo.
The wife is the trustee of the trust fund.
The wife makes about $10 an hour and cannot afford the house and all the bills on her income alone.
I am trying to help her figure out if she can use any of the trust fund money for the bills since they all benefit the child also; needs a home, electricity, food, etc...
Without some of the money the house will probably get sold and they will move to a small apartment that the widow can afford.
How much is ethical, and how much is legal? Two different things.
I understand that there are a lot of specifics, but what about in general?
