Yes, in my case anyway, the trust name starts with a "W".Diomed wrote:Are you sure you're basing your conclusions on correct data? Specifically, trusts are treated the same as a business entity when examiners are assigned. The "Walter Mitty Living Trust" would be assigned to the examiner for "W", the same way "Automatic Baby-killing Death Machines Inc." would be assigned to "A". This is opposed to John Smith making something on a Form 1, where the examiner would be the one for "S".okw wrote:That's interesting ... my trust is also a "W" and I got Shipman.

I doubt the examiners are reading the trust documents. They are either having an attorney review them, which I doubt, or they are just keeping them on file.Fudmottin wrote:When doing a transfer to a trust, will the examiner read the entire trust each time? They must be wanting the trust rather than just the declaration for a reason. It certainly increases the workload.
I don't have my copy of the numbers here, but it's quite large. They'll break a million this year if they haven't already.Fudmottin wrote:I wonder what the average number of transfer requests made per month is.
Mention has been made of a checklist for trusts. I don't know if that's still how they do it or if they all go through their legal office now. I doubt it's much of change in terms of time and effort versus processing an individual application from the examiner's perspective. Probably depends on whether the fingerprint check is the only background check that's done.When doing a transfer to a trust, will the examiner read the entire trust each time?

What amount of a man is composed of his own collection of experiences... and the conclusions that those experiences have allowed him to "know" for certain as "Truth"? :Ick
