On Sat, Oct 28, 2017 a= 10:25 AM, Valeria Chomsky > wrote: Noam insists in writing a lett=r to the children as Deborah proposed. We received an extremely kind invitation from Harry to join the three of them for Thanksgiving in his house and that the three of them will be very happy to have both of us there. Noam believes that Max is doing what he is doing by himself, because he has the obligation as a Trustee and Deborah corroborates that Max would be liable. But my understanding is that Max would be liable just inside the family due to a family agreement. Therefore the situation could be resolved in family. But I think is going to be very difficult and I have advised Noam from the very beginning to not accept any money from these trusts because it will mean problems for him.
