If you've named your children, relatives or friends to be in charge as "Successor Trustee" of your Living Trust when you pass away (or become disabled), they probably will have no idea what to do! After all, they've probably never served as a Trustee before!      

Unfortunately, what they don't know could cost your family a lot of money. Worse yet, if your Successor Trustee fails to handle certain tasks promptly and correctly, he or she may be personally liable out of his or her own funds for damages to your beneficiaries.

For example, does your Successor Trustee know how to:

  • Determine the duties owed to your beneficiaries?
  • Properly carry out those duties?
  • Work with your beneficiaries to avoid conflict?
  • Resolve any disputes that do happen?
  • Defend against contests?
  • Set up proper accounting procedures?
  • Avoid numerous pitfalls for the unwary that could expose them to personal liability?
