1. ““KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS that for and in consideration of $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, I, the undersigned Richard Ernest Miller, Jr., do hereby release, relinquish, [forgo], renounce, give up and forever abandon any and all interest I may have as a beneficiary of that certain Sol/Miller Revocable Living Trust dated December 30, 1992, consisting of nineteen typewritten pages, executed by myself and Lily Heart Sol, including, but not limited to, my interest as a current beneficiary under said trust, any right I may have to insist that the trust be perpetuated beyond this date and any right I may have to the distribution of any assets of the trust upon its dissolution.””

2. ““Because we hold that the husband is not entitled to any assets from the trust, the remaining property division and the periodic-alimony award must be reexamined. Therefore, the trial court’s judgment is reversed insofar as it divided the marital property and the debts and awarded periodic alimony. The trial court is instructed on remand to make an equitable division of property and to recalculate the periodic-alimony award in light of the wife’s exclusive right to the [trust].””

3. ““After the wife received her inheritance, a family trust was created. The court deems that since the wife’s inheritance was used for the support and maintenance of the family that it became a marital asset. The court further finds from the evidence that the trust was created for tax saving purposes and to avoid probate. The court would therefore treat the assets in the trust as part of the marital estate and disregard the trust entity.””
