Children With Drug Problems?



The Foxbusiness expert whiffed on advising a couple with children with drug problems. Sure, showing them a revised will that excludes them might make them stop using drugs, but the distant inheritance is most likely not an immediate incentive and eventually they will be disinherited and still have a drug problem. 

I prefer using a trust to hold their inheritance with the stipulation that it can not be disbursed until they are clean. I also would provide that their share can be used to pay for treatment programs. This type of provision is too complicated to administer solely through a will.
