Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Living heirs and descendants.

Are you going to post the trust instrument here in segments, or speak to an attorney for a consultation?

Roach is wrong again. There are often heirs who are not issue. Issue means children and their children and so on who are alive at the time relevant to the use of the term. "Living issue" also requires some form of time referent to be meaningful, such as "living issue at the date of settlor's death."

That's what descendants means. One of these days I'm gonna buy Mr. McCormick a legal dictionary, to help him with his practice.
