Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana

Re: settlement

There is always recourse - just whether it is worthwhile to proceed or not. Without knowing more, it is hard to give you specific advice as how to proceed.

I would recommend first reading all of the papers your daughter received when the case was settled. Something in them may indicate whether a guardianship or trust was set up, and what kind of restrictions were put in place for distributions to be made for the benefit of your daughter. If you do not have any of the documents or do not understand them, then I would ask your daughter's personal injury attorney about how the settlement proceeds are supposed to be handled. It is hard for me to perceive that this subject was not discussed at some point in time, or communicated in some way to you and your daughter when the settlement was accepted and approved by the court.
