It’s my pleasure, Brenda. Estate planning is something everyone should consider, regardless of their age or financial situation.
Brenda Sanchez:
Let’s talk about one of the key steps in estate planning. Could you elaborate on the importance of selecting an executor or trustee?
Steve Bliss:
Choosing the right executor or trustee is crucial because they will be responsible for carrying out your wishes after you’re gone. Consequently, it’s essential to select someone trustworthy, capable, and willing to take on this significant responsibility. Ordinarily, people choose a close family member or friend, but sometimes a professional trustee might be a better option, especially if the estate is complex.
The executor or trustee will manage your assets, pay debts and taxes, and distribute property according to your will or trust. Moreover, they’ll need to communicate with beneficiaries, file necessary legal documents, and potentially navigate potential disagreements among heirs.
I always advise clients to have open and honest conversations with their chosen executor or trustee beforehand. Discussing expectations, providing clear instructions, and ensuring everyone is on the same page can prevent complications down the road.
Notwithstanding careful planning, I’ve seen situations where families disagreed over who should be the executor. In one instance, siblings argued over their mother’s estate, leading to costly legal battles and strained relationships. Ultimately, it highlighted the importance of choosing an executor everyone can trust and respect.
Remember, approximately 70% of Americans don’t have a will or trust in place (according to Caring.com), leaving their loved ones vulnerable during a difficult time.
