I don't quite remember anymore, lol but werent they

living trust - income distribution
testamentary trust - nonprobate/trust asset vs probate
revocable trust vs elective share (illusory revocable trust will not defeat elective share)

family law - valid common law marriage in one state is valid in another? full credit/faith, 2nd part - pre-marriage voids a marriage

I was confused about the "charity" Q stuff in trusts I thought they were getting at the power of appt or something but I got the income stuff and elective share I think... Wow totally missed the pre marriage voids their marriage, sigh. I totally thought they were asking about their divorce and some equitable distribution of the lottery winnings so I went on a tangent about that

charity bequest fails/specific appointment not general.
