My understanding is that we need to follow the instructions on the bequest document, trust, etc to a tee. Therefore, I guess it really depends on the individual document. That helpful huh? lol Roberta Dana Town Treasurer & Tax Collector Groton, VT 802-584-3131 [log in to unmask] ----- Original Message ----- From: Braintree Treasurer To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 3:45 PM Subject: cemetery bequest clarification OK who is the expert on cemeteries because I am a little puzzled on how to invest the bequest money. I have a 18 month CD maturing which is all bequest money, I understand that I can withdraw and use the interest earned and reinvest the original benefit? The interest earned can be use for mowing/maintence on the cemeteries -correct? What and when can the bequest money be used? . Thank you in advance K Russo Town of Braintree
