    It is so difficult as one of the grandchildren has gone to live with the mother and we don’t know where and the father is allowed no contact.  
    But if the situation remains the same you would still have that problem  of finding them to give their share when they reach 18.

    What about the others are you in contact with their parents? I don't know how feasible or cost effective it would be to put 4 of them into JISAs assuming they already have one or their parents will open one and just set up a trust purely for the one great grandchild you don't know where they are.
    Thank you  for your reply, I am on speaking terms with all the other parents and they probably do have JISA's already.

    I am still in contact with all the other parents and they probably have bank accounts already for the children.
