[1] Parents act as beneficiary Trustees in the estate of Simon L. Bernstein to their children, where Simon’s estate may be the ultimate beneficiary of the policy and their children named below would be the ultimate beneficiaries of the policy proceeds.  The failure of the grandchildren to be represented in these matters and listed as potential beneficiaries is due to an absolute conflict with their parents who are trying to get the benefits paid to them directly.  This is gross violations of fiduciary duties and may be viewed as criminal in certain aspects as the lawsuit attempts to convert the benefits from the grandchildren to 4/5 of the children of SIMON by failing to inform their children (some minors) or have them represented in these matters.  The Court should take note of this, especially in the interests of the minor grandchildren who may lose their benefits if the proceeds of the insurance policy are converted to the knowingly wrong parties.
