Trustee governs heir 22nd birthday conditional legacy
In dialogue with Rankin, guardian Merrick details Stuart Jordan's birth and home life. Edward Jordan, a celebrated architect, built wealth through a marriage to Alice Merrick. The estate totals about half a million with most inheritance tied to a trust. The will requires Stuart to lead a decorous life and meet moral restraints to claim the principal at age twenty two, otherwise income only and possible loss of the inheritance.
