Well...
There are some simple solutions to your dilemma.
You can be the one to make an effort to see if any nieces or nephews are living close enough to visit you and fund their trip plus a little recreation in your area. (Tourist trap of some sort)
To have a friend one must first be a friend.
Because dying alone sucks no matter who you are. Un-nelled is not a positive no matter what.
Secondly... American churches are absolutely flush with stuff. Buildings and debts and gold candle wick trimmers...not really a lasting thing either because a bad pastor can make a congregation evaporate faster than alcohol on a Texas sidewalk in the summer.
Then there's foreign missions where essentially some pastor gets to retire in a foreign country living luxuriously by comparison of the congregation there. (Seen this too)
If you don't make a will the lawyers in probate court will eat it all up trying to find your nieces and nephews to issue them each a check for twenty three cents. (Seen that too)
Since you are discussing trusts I'm imagining that the sum value is in excess of $600,000 where the Government really gets the money.
And that requires friends you can really trust beyond the lip service they give. Both legal assistance and executor assistance.
Doing no harm while trying to do good isn't exactly as easily done as said.
You really need some true friends...ones that prioritize morality over money. Those are difficult to come by.
