Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: estate check

I cannot give an accurate answer without reading the terms of the Will, as they apply to your specific question. In general, trusts created under a Will allow funds to be used for a beneficiary before reaching the ultimate distribution date/age. If the language of the Will allows this, you may do so, although the uses may be limited. If there was some legitimate basis to sue the Executor and the Court agreed with you, the decision should have allowed your legal fees to be paid by the trust, or even by the Executor, if he acted improperly. Likewise, if he acted improperly, the Court can deny his application to have his attorney paid from the estate. I have not seen the pleadings so I do not what claims were made. I would be happy to review all documents if you get them to me. This is a reply to an Internet question and the response is not intended to be legal advice or to create an attorney-client relationship. Missing or omitted facts could result in a different reply.
