It is the sense of Congress that the Department of Defense should explore options to allow members of the Armed Forces to designate that, upon their death, the death gratuity payable with respect to members of the Armed Forces upon death may be paid to a trust that is legally established under any Federal, State, or territorial law in order to provide greater financial and estate planning capability for members seeking to provide for those who require the protections of a trust, such as minor children or incapacitated adults, or those with special needs.
