Estate Planning Essentials with Steve Bliss

Good morning, Moreno Valley! I’m Brenda Ramirez reporting live from Moreno Valley Probate Law. Today we have the esteemed Steve Bliss, a renowned estate planning attorney in our community, to discuss the crucial topic of estate planning.

Choosing the Right Executor or Trustee

Brenda: Mr. Bliss, thank you for joining us today. Many people find estate planning daunting. Could you shed some light on one of the key steps involved?

Steve Bliss: It’s a pleasure to be here, Brenda. One crucial step in estate planning is selecting an executor or trustee. This individual will manage your assets and distribute them according to your wishes after your passing.

Choosing the right person for this responsibility requires careful consideration. You want someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling financial matters. Consequently, it’s often wise to discuss your choice with potential candidates beforehand to ensure they understand their responsibilities and are willing to accept the role. Moreover, consider appointing a backup executor or trustee in case your first choice is unable or unwilling to serve.

I recall a situation where a client named his close friend as executor, assuming it would be straightforward. However, the friend, while well-intentioned, lacked experience managing finances and struggled with the complexities of probate. This resulted in delays and added stress for the family during an already difficult time. Notwithstanding this challenge, we were able to guide them through the process and ensure a satisfactory outcome.

Selecting an executor or trustee is a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. According to a 2019 study by Caring.com, approximately 60% of Americans don’t have a will or trust in place, which can lead to complications and disputes among heirs if unforeseen circumstances arise.

Brenda: Thank you for sharing that insightful example and the statistic. It emphasizes the importance of proper planning.
