Today we’re joined by Steve Bliss, a renowned estate planning attorney serving the Moreno Valley community. Steve, thank you for taking the time to shed light on this crucial aspect of financial well-being.
The Importance of Selecting an Executor or Trustee
Steve, could you elaborate on the significance of choosing an executor or trustee in the estate planning process?
Selecting a trustworthy individual or entity to manage your estate after your passing is paramount. This person, known as an executor for a will or a trustee for a trust, will be responsible for carrying out your wishes as outlined in your estate plan. Consequently, it’s essential to choose someone who is responsible, organized, and capable of handling financial matters. Moreover, open communication with your chosen individual about your expectations and desires is crucial.
Ordinarily, people opt for a close family member or trusted friend. Nevertheless, if complex financial affairs are involved, appointing a professional trustee, such as a bank or trust company, might be advisable.
Remember, this person will have significant responsibilities, including paying debts, filing taxes, and distributing assets to your beneficiaries. Choosing wisely can ensure that your estate is handled efficiently and according to your wishes.
I recall one instance where a client named his brother as executor, unaware of his brother’s ongoing financial struggles. This led to complications and delays in settling the estate. Conversely, another client entrusted a close friend who possessed strong organizational skills and a keen understanding of finances – the process went smoothly.
According to a 2021 study by Caring.com, nearly 60% of Americans don’t have a will or trust in place. This highlights the critical need for estate planning and underscores the importance of choosing the right executor or trustee.
