. i didn't know what jonas's uncle marty was planning . but he had some leverage . before her death , adrienne had stacked the deck in his favor .
although adrienne had named lauren and me as permanent custodians for her son , she had thrown a joker into our winning parental hand : she had sequestered most of the half of her substantial estate she hadn't bequeathed to charity into a trust for jonas's welfare . according to the terms of the trust documents , martin and i were the co-trustees of jonas's funds . adrienne had stipulated a few guidelines for us to follow , but by and large , marty and i would have to agree on how to invest , and how to distribute , the assets of the trust until jonas was twenty- seven years old .
why twenty-seven ? if i ever made it to heaven , i would ask adrienne why twenty-seven , and tp please tell me the story about hand-job judy .
having known her well , i allowed for the possibility that adrienne 's testamentary machineations were n't unwtting , but rather that she had nemed her nebbishy brother and her stubborn neighbor as co-trustees so that she would have some earthly entertainment in case heaven's diversions weren't captivating her on any given day .
adrienne would have predicted that her brother and i wouldn't agree on how to manage jonas's affairs .
