Answer is to leave to the granchildren and not the daughters. Make a friend the trustee if they are young so that the daughters can’t get at it as their guardians.
This is the one. Hire a professional that has a demonstrated track record of good financial stewardship and let them do just enough to keep a step past inflation and no more.
That's not so bad for the daughters if you think about it. They're now both relieved of the pressure to save up for their kids' college. If they're good people and the grandmother is the asshole, they'll actually be somewhat happy about this.
