You do NOT want to take any property out of the trust.  This type of situation is the main reason that you have a living trust.  If your grandmother is incapacitated and cannot make financial decisions, than more than likely there is a provision in the trust for the successor trustee to take over as the trustee.  If she is not incapacitated, but she does not want to or can't make the financial decisions than she can resign as the trustee and appoint a new trustee to handle her affairs.\n\nI can't stress this enough, before you do anything, you need to take the trust document to an attorney, preferably the attorney that wrote the trust and get some advice.

Hi Evy, I'm not a grandma but I speak for my two grandmas and what they've told me.\n\nThey say that since they're not your children you don't feel so stressed out about them. You can spoil them all you want without having to see the end results the parents have to deal with after the facts.

You need to sit down with your mother and be VERY clear that you are your child's parent, and although you appreciate that she loves and cares about your children, they are ultimately YOUR responsibility.  If this behavior continues, your children are going to become very disrespectful of you, and you will have NO authority over them because they will know that Grandma will bail them out.  It's a very bad situation.  Best of luck!!!

Ayup.\n\nGrandparent Rights to Visitation: As a part of a decree dissolving the marriage or a decree that neither party is entitled to a divorce, the court may grant visitation to the grandparent if the grandparent has intervened in the suit for dissolution of the marriage. The court must find that the visitation is in the best interest of the child, after considering the statutory best interest factors. Title 20, Section 20-124.1 (C.V. § 20-124.1).\n\nSo if it's you your asking about, hurry up and file the necessary papers to intervene.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I don't know about New Zealand law but I believe that they have "Grandparents" rights as we do here in the USA. Try the following websites for help and I wish you the best of luck. It's wonderful that you're such a good grandparent. Here are the sites; (see source box if these links aren't working. It looks like there cutting off some of the words. I would just copy and paste them into the search bar, if I were you.)\nwww.ilga.info/Information/Legal_survey/Asia_Pacific/new_zealand.htm\nwww.birthfamily.com/laws.html\ndmoz.org/Society/Issues/Children,_Youth_and_Family/Parents'_Rights\nI hope this helps you, Honey. God bless. I'm Praying for you!

One example.  Granny and Gramps have the bucks.  Sonny boy does not do what he is told.  Gran and Gramps set up a trust, so that an executor controls the funds when they kick off.  This time, the bucks will go to the grandkids under pre-determined conditions.

The answers submitted thus far are partially correct.  You and your boyfirend, as the child's parents, have the primary say over who the child spends time with.  However, grandparents' rights vary greatly from state to state.\n\nFor instance, in California where I practice, grandparents do indeed have visitation rights in theory.  A grandparent can petition the court for visitation.  The court will be guided by what is in the best interests of the child, i.e. how close the child is to the grand-parent, how detrimental it would be for the child to not see the grand-parent, etc.  \n\nIt is also within the court's authority to put equittable restrictions/conditions upon visitation.  Yes, the court can order a psychological evaluation to determine if the grandparent should be allowed visitation.\n\nTalk to a child custody attorney in your area to see what rights may be available to the child's grandmother.  In the meantime, I would say that it is probably well within your rights to deny access to your child unless and until a court orders otherwise.

the answer is yes it is possible and getting better all the time. many courts are granting visitation rights to grandparents all the time. check with your county court house in your area and see if this is being done.

If you have concerns, I wouldn't send the child. \n\nThere are ways that grandparents can legally obtain guardianship of grandchildren. They can file motions to protect, motions for emergency guardianship, etc, by claiming that you are an unfit parent. Then, while they would have the burden of proof, it would still be a lengthy and expensive proposition for you to contend with. Your attorney would have to be located in the same state that the petitions were filed.

You are Family it is your obligation to take care of her , take it from some who has no grandparents , or parents or siblings. Some day you might be in this situation would you want to be abandoned ? To answer your question you dont get rid of her you love her , and let her know how important she is to you . If the BABES dont like your grandmother then they are not worth having anyway .

Your Grandchildren can only invest earned income in a Roth IRA. If they have a paper route or some other job, they can contribute to the IRA. Technically, you can't put money into an IRA for them. What you can do to encourage them to invest the money they are earning is to give them cash gifts equal to the amount they invest.

Depending on prior circumstances -- they have to give the parents ample time to get themselves back on track (counseling, parenting classes, anger management, etc.).   Maybe the parents will allow custody to be transferred if they really don't want to care for the child.  Either way the grandparents should gain as much info from the foster care agency on the processes they follow and give them their vitals in case the kids need anything.  See how things go and then seek legal counsel on custody if that is feasible.

Since she is not willing to sell to any one child, any solution that involves you buying will not work, unless you intend to put pressure on her to sell to you.\n\nThis may result in the other children resenting you for "forcing" her to do what everybody seems to know she does not want to do.\n\nThe ONLY solution is for her to make out a will.  She is not behaving in a  responsible manner if she refuses to do it.  Even now, as you describe it, the family is already feeling the stress over who gets the property.  If there is any pressure put on her, it should be towards convincing her to make out a will.\n\nShe just may have to decide who gets what, and who gets left out.  It may not be an easy choice, but that already seems to be what is going on right now.  You have your claims, the others in the family may have theirs.\n\nAnd, you are right, there is no way to divide two houses among three parties, unless the property is sold and the liquidated assets divided.\n\nIf she dies without a will, (entestate) that is what will probably happen, anyway.  Even if she specifies, in the will, that the property gets sold and the assets divided, the will makes this process faster and easier than if she doesn't.  The family may not LIKE the solution, but isn't it your grandmother's decision to make?  The family may have some resentment, but, at least, it won't be directed at each other.

I would be the first in line if someone asked me to support a cause such as this. My daughter in law walked out on her 1 yr and 2 yr old children. I am helping my son raise these two beautiful children. Thank God for grandparents.
