I have never heard of trust funds for older people. Most I've known about have been for children up to a certain adult age, like 21 or 25 or something like that. That must be very diffcult. Not that I want to move, but I can't imagine having to get permission if I did want to. I also can't imagine not being able to spend my own money the way I want to or not being able to make my own decisions (as much as I hate making decisions.) I guess it's just always been that way for you so you are used to it. What do you do, dancer, when you want to go shopping or buy something frivolous? It must be difficult. I could not do that. I also didn't know one could add to their own trust fund. I don't really know much about them. Only more like ones that involve property, like putting a house in trust for your children or grandchildren kind of thing. I'd be hiding the money in a sock under the mattress so I could go shopping or to a casino or something.

Do you have trust funds for your children? If something happened to you, would the money in your trust fund go to them or would the trustees control it the same way or would it go to the trustees. (If that's too personal, you don't have to answer. I'm just curious how that works.)
