Buzz Aldrin’s son acts to block his father’s access to his assets
Sad: Andrew Aldrin, son to Buzz Aldrin, has moved to try to block his father’s access to the funds in two of his financial accounts.
Andrew Aldrin’s lawyer sent a letter last month to an associate in Morgan Stanley’s private wealth management division with instructions not to transfer any assets in two financial accounts in a trust of which Andrew Aldrin is a trustee. Buzz Aldrin, 89, has tried to terminate the trust and wants the assets distributed to him.

The letter from Andrew Aldrin’s lawyer warns Morgan Stanley that the son, acting as trustee, will seek damages if his instructions aren’t followed. “Please govern yourself accordingly,” the letter said.
Morgan Stanley asked a Florida court last week to decide if it should follow the instructions of Buzz Aldrin or his son.
The family has been fighting for control of Aldrin’s assets, with two of his children saying he has memory loss and is delusional.

From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Memory loss and delusions: The new way to inheritance? I hope Buzz is given a proper hearing!
On another side, accusations are all that is needed for police to confiscate you weapons according to the new anti-gun laws of New Mexico. No hearing just accusations!
Sounds like this is a Revocable Trust. If somebody *really* wants to provide assets for offspring that can’t be dinked with, they should set up an Irrevocable Trust. Setting up one of the recipients of the trust to be the trustee is just begging for trouble.
Is a woman involved?
Wodun someone always had to make dark humour, no matter what!
I wish it was humor but you get old enough and you see a lot of different ways family spats take place.
