The answer depends on the language of the trust. If the grandchildren must be living, then it may be that their children (the great-grandchildren) are not included. Check if there is language that applies to grandchildren who predecease the Grantor. You should probably take the trust to an estate attorney who can check the language regarding this and other provisions. Good luck
