Any halfway decent lawyer, Anglofille, will tell you that saying it’s in trust is just the beginning of the inquiry–if you represent those boys anyway.

Hence my question: Just what and where exactly is this trust, who exactly is the trustee and what are his (her? their?) fee arrangements? All this info is public record in the States. I don’t have much confidence in the incompetence/criminal culture of England.

Just a rhetorical question.

If some legimitate person or people are doing this pro bono, well, good for them.

Jack Tweed isn’t actually the boys’ father, so the boys won’t be living with him. Still, I’m not sure their new guardians will be much better. As for the money, I hope it’s in a trust fund because I wouldn’t trust anyone surrounding Jade Goody.

Except of course, that Vanessa’s boys will have Liam Neeson as a dad, and Jade’s boys will have a twice convicted petty criminal. I feel bad for all these boys losing their mother, but I have to admit the lawyer in me is very curious to know just who, exactly, is going to control all this money she obtained for the kids? Inquiring minds want to know!

Like Jade Goody, two children who will now not have their mother. So sad.

Oh! That’s right! Vanessa Redgrave was in The Year of Magical Thinking.

I read in the paper that Joan Didion and Meryl Streep were there at Richardson bedside and wondered why Didion was there with the family.

I never made that connection, until you pointed it out about Didion’s book being about her daughter’s death and Vanessa Redgrave, who played Didion onstage, is going through the same thing…

Eerie!
