Holding
The court held that the trial court erred in applying the doctrine of merger to extinguish the D.E.W. Trust because the judgment debtor, as life beneficiary and trustee, was not the sole beneficiary of the trust, given that his children held valid, vested remainder interests subject to divestment by his testamentary power of appointment.
