Q: What qualifies as support within a trust?
I am the beneficiary of a trust where my sister is my trustee. The will states that I can use funds for medical, educational and support? What qualifies as support? I have tried to find answers and some things state living expense, clothing, food etc. and I have seen things that go as far as furniture and extras for your home and even as far as vacations. My sister said I could use it for a vehicle and tried to state the bank needed documentation I spoke with the bank and they said they have no part in it any longer aside from being the executor of the estate.
