Carole, I'm sorry I missed the first thread - was away for a day and half, and VERY busy leading up to that.

From what you've said of your daughter, she is an amazing young woman and will live up to her promise to take care of the little guy. Put the money into a special account just for him, and only pull it when he needs somethign. It'll be exciting to see how fast it accumulates. then when she heads off to college, she can go there either with him, or leave him home, with enough money in the account to care for him while she is gone.
