Briаnnа Bоyd is а trust beneficiary whо typically receives $100,000 a year frоm the trust. The trust contains a provision prohibiting both voluntary and involuntary transfers of the beneficiary’s trust interest. Boyd recently divorced. As part of the divorce, the court ordered Boyd to pay $500 a month in child support and to pay $8,000 to credit card lenders for debts incurred during the parties' marriage. For several months, Boyd has failed to make any payments on either the child-support obligation or the credit card debt. May Boyd's creditors make a claim on the trust?
Trаvis Tоdd dedicаted his entire cаreer tо building a sоftware company renowned for its series of popular computer games. Although he never married or had children, he held a deep bond with his siblings Henry Hill (“Hill”), Ingrid Isler (“Isler”), and Jeff Johnson (“Johnson”). Hill passed away in 2013, leaving behind his widow but no children. In 2014, Isler died and left two children, Dawn and Edward. Johnson remains alive and has three children: Florence, George, and Henry. On July 1, 2015, Todd properly executed a will. In this will, he established a trust for Wilma Wilson (“Wilson”), the 65-year-old widow of his brother Henry Hill. This trust was to be funded with Apple stock that Todd had purchased decades ago, shortly after his first encounter with an Apple Macintosh computer. Johnson was named as trustee in the will, and Todd directed him to pay Wilson “as much of the income and, if the income proves insufficient, as much of the principal as may be required for her proper support and maintenance, for as long as she lives.” Upon Wilson’s death, the remainder of the trust principal would go to Case Western Reserve University. Todd bequeathed “the rest and residue of my estate to the surviving issue of my siblings, to be divided per stirpes.” Wilson’s monthly support needs total approximately $3,000. She has a pension and other sources of income that amount to $1,500 per month, and she has been making up the difference between her income and expenses by withdrawing from her savings. On July 1, 2021, Todd passed away. At that time, the trust was funded with Apple stock, valued at $500,000 at the time the trust was established. The remainder of Todd’s estate, consisting of various bank accounts and other investments, was worth $600,000. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, Johnson provided Wilson with $1,000 per month from the trust. During these years, he maintained the original investment allocation, and the trust generated approximately $30,000 of income annually. In 2025, Florence approached her father Johnson with a proposal to invest in a new startup food truck venture she was launching. Intrigued by the promising nature of the business, which he personally estimated to be worth around $2,000,000, Johnson sold $200,000 worth of Apple stock from the trust to acquire a 10% stake in Florence’s venture. He diligently recorded the change in investment within the trust’s records, noting that diversifying the trust principal across multiple business sectors was, in his judgment, a prudent decision. Johnson did not alter the amount he was disbursing to Wilson from the trust. However, Wilson expressed dissatisfaction with the shift in investment. She also asserted that she should have been entitled to a larger sum from the trust since its inception. Please analyze and thoroughly explain all four of the following: 1. How much money would each niece and nephew get under the will? 2. Is Wilson correct that she should have been allocated higher payments from the trust? 3. Did Johnson appropriately exercise his discretion in determining trust investments 4. If Wilson seeks to remove Johnson as trustee, is she likely to be successful?
Thаd Thоmpsоn, whо owned severаl cаr dealerships, executed a will that left the bulk of his estate to his children but also included a $5,000 bequest "to Betty Bryce of 10 Pinecrest Road with immense gratitude for all she has done for me." Two women, both named Betty Bryce, claimed to be the proper beneficiary. The first lived at 10 Pinecrest Road but had no known relationship with Thompson; however, she worked part-time as a food-delivery driver and stated that she believed she had delivered multiple pizzas to him over the years. The other Betty Bryce lived at 10 Oakhurst Road, had babysat Thompson in his youth, and had even given Thompson his first driving lesson—a lesson that he always said developed his love of cars. How should the court resolve the dispute?
