Do you think we should look for some Massachusetts lawyers who have served as trustees for marital trusts
in MA? Then, how could they justify not accepting Noam's suggestions? Or could Noam insist in having a
corporate independent trustee?
Max seems to be facing a huge conflict of interest, representing Noam's children, being the trustee of the
marital trusts and until recently, although representing only the children, being paid by Noam, while, at the
same time, we were paying Deborah, who in her turn, was being paid by us, but going along with all Max's
demands and instructions, without raising and demanding the right issues. It is surreal.

I'm inclined to write Max a nasty letter about a lawyer with initials MK and his behavior when I thought
he was my lawyer but when in fact he was watching calmly as the IRA, which he understood to be my
sole source of support, was being depleted by distributions to family and payment of taxes and
management fees for the whole estate, exhausting the mandatory withdrawal, and much more -- and who
now claims to be qualified to be a trustee.
But I think it may be better to withhold this and send it later, after we've gotten rid of him.

Deborah —
I'm writing to acknowledge receipt of your email, below. I understood that you were waiting for me to
provide you with a suggested list of qualified professional trustees (in consultation with Harry) and I am
preparing a list of trustees to present to you soon. While I take your message as a suggestion that Harry
consider attorney Weingarten as a candidate, I see nothing at his firm's web page that indicates that
attorney Weingarten (accomplished as he may be as a white collar crime litigator) has the knowledge or
necessary experience to serve as trustee of a marital trust established under Massachusetts law. (I would
note that a quick perusal of the web indicates that he has represented, among others, the CEO of Goldman
Sachs, Roman Polanski and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Also that he was on the short list to represent
Donald Trump. Very impressive!) Given attorney Weingarten's specialty and client list I'll be interested
to hear why he is being proposed as the professional trustee of the Carol S. Chomsky marital trusts.
It was great to hear from you last week that Noam has agreed to provide financial information to support
his request for further principal distributions from the marital trusts. I do hope that some information will
be offered soon, so that I will be in a position to consider such distributions, including those that have
already been requested (in addition to the tax payments that were made on his behalf in the last 10 days).
