Thank you for letting me see copies of Marion's trust, of her will
and of her last directives. The trust and the will have been drafted
with unnecessary and confusing complexity, so as to make the settlement
of Marions estate, when the time comes, unnecessarily expensive. The
lawyer will get a great deal of money, how much will be left for the
beneficiaries is uncertain and unpredictable. I have settled four estates
without paying any legal fees, and when the time comes, if you want my
help, I will help you settle Marion's estate without incurring any legal 
fees. If you don't want my help, I won't be disappointed, offended or
angry.

Most important of course, is Marion's peace of mind. She shouldn't be
made to feel that she has been written off. I'm concerned about the
security of her apartment and the health department's intrusion. Who called
them, who let them in? They had no right to intrude without a warrant.
It's very important that other unauthorized individuals or agencies be
prevented from ransacking Marion's apartment.

If Marion wishes to resign as trustee of her trust, the threshold issue
is whether the trust at this juncture is a "dry" trust without assets, 
or whether there are liquid (bank accounts, brokerage accounts) or real 
estate assets assigned to the trust. If it is a dry trust, to be funded
only on Marion's death, your assuming the trusteeship now would be of no 
consequence. On the other hand if the trust is funded, and you are the
trustee, then you have to pay her bills, etc. I'll help you much as
you wish.

If Marion wishes to make formal resignation as trustee,
her dated signature to the following should be witnessed, if possible
by three individuals.

"I Marion Namenwirth of 1627 Carl Street, St. Paul, MN,
hereby resign as sole trustee of the
Marion Namenwirth Trust Agreement dated December 11, 2015."

At the same time, your dated signature to the following should be witnessed
if possible by three individuals,

"I, Klemens B. Meyer, 178 School Street, Belmont MA, 
hereby accept and assume the sole trusteeship of the
Marion Namenwirth Trust Agreement dated December 11, 2015,
pursuant to Article 5.2 of that document."

Once you have accepted the trusteeship, you should protect her
interests by making sure that the claims of potential creditors,
primarily I should think hospitals and physicians are valid and
are not inflated, and that insurance companies do not renege on
their obligations. Once you are trustee, you might consider reviewing
her debts ith the financial officers of the hospital and the various
physicians' offices.

Once you have accepted the trusteeship, make inquiries a) at Sunrise
Bank, b) at Affinity Credit Union, and c) Woodbury Financial Services
to ascertain whether these financial institution hold assets in the
name of the Marion Namenwirth Trust Agreement dated December 11, 2015,
of which you are now the Trustee.

Also very important is to make sure that Marions mail is safe, and 
that you pay all bills due. You may also find financial statements 
from other financial institutions in the mail.

So far as the will is concerned, I wouldn't mention it unless Marion
brings it up, in which case its useful to know where the original
is located, because only an original can be probated. If all of Marions
assets are in the trust, and if on her death all her personal property
is accessible to you, the will may not require to be probated at all. 
On the ther hand if probate were necessary and the will could not be found,
then (at least under MA and VA law) presumably I would be the sole beneficiary
and I would disclaim in your favor so that the financial consequences would
be the same, assuming you did not hire a lawyer.

Please keep me informed, and remember that I'm not offended or hurt
if you don't want my help.
