In this short advisory video, the speaker addresses the common concern that parents may end up giving their children nothing of value. He proposes using a carefully structured trust to encourage desirable traits such as a strong work ethic and responsible money use. The trust is managed by a trustee, overseen by a trust protector, both appointed by the grantor. Funds can be earmarked for specific purposes—education expenses, disbursement only upon degree completion, reserves for medical emergencies (e.g., a special‑needs grandchild), or conditional releases contingent on overcoming addiction. The speaker emphasizes the flexibility of such trusts to match each child’s circumstances and invites viewers to follow for more ideas.

My children will get nothing from me. That's a refrain I hear quite often from people here on TikTok. They don't want their kids to be deadbeats, and there's logic to that. We've all heard about trust fund babies, but what if you could plan to encourage the behavior that you want to see in your children? Good work ethic, sensible use of money, and here's how. We can create a trust that is controlled by a trustee. The trustee controls the money and a trust protector overlooks the trustee. You appoint both of these. You can allocate money that will be used only for their education. You can allocate money that will be given to them only if they achieve a degree. You can require that money be set aside and used only in cases of medical emergency. One example would be if there is a grandchild born with special needs. If you have a child that has issues with addiction, require they be shown to the trustee's satisfaction that they have overcome their addictions. There are innumerable ways that a trust like this can be set up to meet the needs of each child. Reach over and follow me right now to get more information and ideas like this.
