The payments authorized by this Trust may be made by my Trustee directly to the beneficiary, if, in the sole opinion of Trustee, he or she is of such age and ability to handle properly the funds so paid, or may be made directly to any institution entitled to such payment by reason of services rendered or to be rendered to the beneficiary.
