Chapter 5 - Claire Had Created a Trust Rocco Barely Remembered
The mystery centered on one asset.
Not the Caruso businesses.
Not Rocco’s house.
Claire’s grandmother had left her a portfolio of municipal bonds and a small commercial property outside Boston.
At Claire’s death, those assets transferred into the Claire Caruso Family Support Trust.
Primary beneficiary:
Noah.
Secondary purpose:
Certain medical, educational, and accessibility expenses.
That included hearing care.
Audiology.
Specialized devices.
Speech support.
Future schooling.
The trust was worth approximately $1.8 million.
Large enough to matter.
Not enough to explain murder fantasies or some absurd family empire.
Claire wanted Noah protected.
Rocco had significant money of his own and never expected to rely on the trust.
That was why he paid little attention to it after her death.
Marcus served as administrative trustee for the first eighteen months.
Victoria was named temporary family liaison.
That arrangement was supposed to make everything easier during Rocco’s grief.
Instead, it created access.

And access became opportunity.
