Did you forget to take your medicine?

I believe the case you're referring to was a work study program held at the school which is a structured program and balanced with academic classes. That is not the same as what was outlined here in this article and a far cry from pulling students to build something like what's discussed here.

Taking a class like you outline is a far cry from taking students and having them do concrete work as a laborer to build something unrelated to any acedemic studies. Teaching concrete work or other manual labor as part of a trade is completely different. I suspect you elected to take those classes in school and\or they were part of the overall criteria of the school. Extremely different from what occurred in the school story.

Pouring concrete is hardly "practical work" at a school unless its a trade school.

When you post comments aside from your topic and people reply to them there's no need to read the title of your thread.

That's common and apporpriate for their religion. It can't be easy swimming in a burka but thats on them.

A will could work but the OP says he has no one he can trust. A Trust would be a better option tax wise and safer in the long run.

Yes you are correct I should have been a little more specific in my first reply. I was going off the OP's comments. Yes in the US not in Thailand

He would also avoid tax issues both in transferring his assets out of investments and in being within the trust prior to any distributions

OP isn't in thailand and his assets are in the US. .My suggestion is he set the trust up in the US as its allowed and much safer to be administered there rather than Thailand He did mention he has no one he can trust so I presume that means in either Thailand or the US..

If this is your view why did you start the thread and ask and then claim you can't find a dryer that works? I think you start threads as a way to have something to talk about.

Your comments are disconnected from your topic and certainly are not connected from my response. Dryers are available so to imply they aren't or difficult to obtain or be able to use isnt accurate. Your topic was about you not what every Asian does. What do Bentleys have to do with anything?

What Asians do and you see versus what is available to them and you are 2 different things. Ive had dryers here since the early 80's and no problems.

The OP says he's in the US and his funds are in the US so its not like doing this in Thailand, which I would discourage. Plenty of reputable law firms to choose from. If he gives his daughter a copy and explains the way the trust works, she could watch to make sure it happens as outlined or raise the red flag. Annual accountability can be established in the trust instructions. Can theft occur it's possible, but chances are low. He's asking for suggestions on how to solve the situation and I'm offering one. I know this can work as I was included in a family trust set up this way and all funds were paid out as instructed.

Talk to a lawyer and set up a trust. You can issue instructions through that instrument. Also gain some tax protection for the funds.. You can also hire a law firm to oversee the trust including the distribution schedule and other special instructions or considerations you may want in place.There will be fees involved but its safe and you can rest easy knowing that it will be controlled and administered properly

Either are very good. Go with the best match to the travel schedule you want to keep
