HM decided not to testify in court over her inheritance because she was worried that testifying would put her on record admitting to things that could be used against her when she returns to the US.
She clearly thought that it was her decision whether or not to stay in Bali after her sentence is up. She originally said she'd stay in Bali with Stella until TS was released.
What's not clear now is how she will try to use Stella. She may decide to leave Stella in Bali, knowing the trust will continue to send money for Stella's support and knowing that Osha will probably funnel some of the funds to her. However, that kind of money isn't going to go very far in the US.
If she decides to bring Stella back, it will be easier for the trust to monitor Stella's money. Plus, if she goes to prison in the US and Stella is in the US, she will almost certainly lose custody of Stella - and access to Stella's inheritance.
