OK, this is the last step for me before I enroll all of us in some good ol’ family counseling – I would deeply appreciate any suggestions on this! We have 3 children that we have adopted through the foster system (all under the age of 8). I am struggling for many reasons (disobedience, etc.) but the primary one is that I don’t trust two of my children. I realize they came from quacky backgrounds and some of their actions are understandable, but how do we function in a family unit without trust? It seems like everytime we turn around we (or grandparents or teachers) are being lied to and manipulated by them. We are always on our toes, and have now become accusatory, too. How can we build the trust in our family? Thanks for you suggestions!

Peter asked:
My sister and I are co-trustees of the family trust set up to provide care for our parents. The trust documents indicate that upon the death of both beneficiaries, our parents, we are to inherit the monies in the trust. There are no other assets in the trust. Is this inheritance taxable? If so, can this inheritance be rolled into a new trust and avoid taxation?
