My friend has a trust fund that his mother left him when she passed away and she left a will. My friend once he turns * he will get a large sum of money but written in the will his mother stated if he attends college then the executioner his uncle needs to pay his rent. His uncle is mad at him for some reason and will not pay his rent so he's not upholding his mother's wishes.
