We have a plan to use these funds to clean up some of the notes that were issued at the end of 2012 to allow the children to use up their lifetime exemption amounts.

The BEB 2011 Trust and the JMB 2011 Trust will use the funds to repay the notes in their descendants trusts. Once this is done, all descendants trusts created by the children will have cash to be invested. As additional funds become available in the LDB 2011 LLC, it will make additional l
