Answer:
Cmangele, Yes, this may be possible, but you would have to petition the Trustees of your sister's beneficiaries fund for this. So you would have to write to them, explaining your circumstances, and that she (your sister) now needs additional money, to pay for the roof over her head. You should find the details of the fund administrators of your sister's fund on the correspondence you receive from them. The administrator will be able to tell you, how you can reach the Trustees.
