This is a simple will. There is no spouse. The testator leaves all property outright to children, per stirpes. If a child does not take, and the property passes to grandchildren, a grandchild must be age 35 to receive an outright share. Otherwise, the share of the grandchild is held in trust until age 35, with the trustees authorized to pay income and principal in their discretion for health, education, maintenance and support.

Otherwise, the share of the grandchild is held in trust until age 35, with the trustees authorized to pay income and principal in their discretion for health, education, maintenance and support. When a trust beneficiary attains age 30, such beneficiary receives one-half of the balance of his/her trust. When the beneficiary attains age 35, the trust ends and the funds are paid outright to the beneficiary. It is assumed that this instrument will be suitable for persons having modest estates well below the federal exemption. It may be used where there is concern for outright distributions to grandchildren who have not yet attained age 35.
