Scott:
The first step is to consult iwth somone who is familiar with trust planning and trust documents. The spending needs you describe sound like a "HEMS" clause (health, education maintnance and support) but until the trust is analyzed for the direct wishes of the decedent, it is hard to comment on what is allowable, and what is not. I have been involved in the planning of hundreds of trust documents, and they vary greatly depending on the wishes of the trust grantor. Additionally, the wording of the assignment of the advisor is key in if they can be changed. The Trustee is responsible for the running of the trust- they need to be consulted, as well as a trust attorney. IF you like, you can contact me and I can take you through the steps necessary to find out what your rights are. Remember, as should the advisor and trustee, that the trust is for the benefit of your son and should act accordingly with careful decisions and a fair heart.

As a company empolyee, if you give advice the company could be held responsible should your "advice" turn out to be in contradiction of what the goals of the employee are. I suggest that the only recomendation that you make to the employee is to consult a qualified, licensed advisor that they either have a relatioship with, or to interview and seek out a trusted advisor of their choice.

There are so many factors to determine if you are saving "enough-" type and cost of projected college of attendence (state, community, Ivy League, etc), interest rate factors on investments, age of children, how many years to attend, etc. The best recommendation is to seek out a qualified Certified Financial Planner(tm) in your area to assist you in the necessary steps to establish a structured college savings program that doesn't hamper your present quality of life while preparing for the future. I caution you to not sacrifice your retirement savings plan and your establishment of an emergency fund in your endeavor to get ready for your childrens future college needs.
