My trust fund states that I'm to have my electronic needs met but it's up to the trustee's discretion (my sister). Wouldn't you think that statement would refer to cable television and a smart phone? (She says I don't need a smart phone 'cause my flip phone works and I have my Mac) Thoughts?

Your sisters "discretion" is unbalanced, if there is a clause in the trust that states that you be happy she is going against your Fathers wishes,it's not as if you are even asking for very much, does your families attorney have any say in these matters?
As Ben said, it's time to talk to someone, other than your b***h of a sister.

See a lawyer Julie, she doesn't sound like a very nice sister. I have one a bit like her, I just tell her very to go.

You might try ACLU I think they might advise you for free. It wouldn't hurt to contact them. They may help you find a way to be able to get some one to look into this for you! Sounds like you are in a cage! Sorry!

Is there a conflict of interest here? Sounds to me like she should not be involved, but another lawyer to avoid the opportunity for a conflict. If she were not a lawyer, I guess it would not matter anyway. Just a thought. Good luck. In my family, the only thing that I inherit is bills! Maybe that is not so bad, as your situation. Regards...

This sounds strange, Seems like the compentency of the trustee is questionable. Not mentally right to make decisions for you. But why does she make those decisions. Its like your taking away from her resources for you. Money in family relationships tends to separate family members. Good luck to you, not an easy situation.

I read it to mean that if you became unable to take care of yourself, someone else would have the say-so about the ventilator and other electronic apparatus to ensure you keep living and breathing and taking in nutrition, such as the tube feeding electronic box.
And I would think that if you were in a vegetative state , you wouldn't know the difference between cable TV and regular TV. And you wouldn't need any kind of a cell phone.
