<prompt> Human: Long story short... When I was 31, my father died and left my brother and I a respectable amount of cash he inherited from my grandfather years earlier. My mom and dad divorced many years earlier. But wait, dad also left us secret family nobody knew about: A long time girlfriend and an 11 or 12 year old half-brother. Uh-oh.Dad specifically wrote the secret family OUT of his will. Long time girlfriend tried to sue my brother and I, but failed. My brother and I went ahead and set up a Virginia America 529-Plan for the half-brother in the amount of 24K, in which we control, but he is the beneficiary.The boy is now 18 or 19 and in a local Jr. College. I know this by looking at his Facebook page, but we still have never met. Furthermore, his mother my dads former longtime girlfriend hates my brother and I for not giving her any hard cash at the time to take care of our half-brother, who we didnt know.So - The account is now worth about 55K and growing. I assume the boy may use the funds if he transfers to a UC after a couple years at his Jr. College. But, Im not sure if he even knows about it. Now that hes an adult, I have the right to reach out to him I suppose, but wonder how long to wait, and if I cant get him, what to do with the funds?Just to be clear, I want him to use the money towards education should he desire. But if he doesnt, Im just wondering what to do with this account, if anything.  <response>: Id reach out to him today and stick with the plan. Sounds like his lifes been a lot harder than yours, yet he made it to college anyway.
