Chapter 25 - RESTITUTION
The trust settlement took two years.
Unauthorized transfers were restored through:
Reduction of Ashley’s future branch allocations.
Repayment from Ashley where possible.
Civil contribution from Diane and George.
Insurance covering part of fiduciary losses.
No one emptied Emma’s education account.
That mattered to me.
She was a child.
Her adults made promises.
Her future should not be destroyed to satisfy symmetry.
The restored value to my branch, including investment adjustment, exceeded $148,000.
The pending $186,000 authorization was void.
Dad’s “surplus capacity” classifications were removed permanently.
Independent trustees took full control of extraordinary distributions.
No parent or grandparent could transfer between branches without direct verified consent from the donor beneficiary.
Two-channel authentication.
Independent confirmation.
No family witness codes.

Boring safeguards.
My favorite kind.
