Re: Trust
I assume you are asking this question in the context of settling your mom's estate after her death. If the trust requires that the house to each of her children in equal shares, that would mean the trustee could deed the real estate to each of the children, 20% to each as tenants in common. If he wanted to give his wife 1%, he can, but only out of his own share.
