can residue estate be subject to a trust

[Barmaid]

Yes.

Although if you would like to expand on your question, I am sure I can provide a more detailed answer.

[moirapratt]

the question is X leaves residue to his wife Anne subject to Anne providing X's sister with life's little comforts

[Barmaid]

Ah, so you need someone to do your law homework!!

Well never mind the issue of whether a residuary estate can be subject to a trust because of course it can. You first need to look at "life's little comforts" and whether that has sufficient certainty under trust law.
