Ill add my understanding- Niel Octoman can nominate (dosnt actually say what hes nominating for in that section) someone or all, but if David Octoman is alive and over 25 or married before that then niel Octomans nomination is null and void.
The problem I have if im correct is that Niel Octoman nominated his son from the second marrage and he has recieved Charles caleb Dudly Octomans estate, or whats left of it.
My Father (Niel Octoman) and his second wife wife pluss there sons (my half brothers were allowed to be trustees when the original trustees retired. My father and his wife then embezaled prity much all that was in the trust, and im guessing my halfbrothers allowed this to happen or were also complisant.
