Good evening San Diego and welcome back. Tonight, we’re talking about something crucial: estate planning. I’m joined by local probate expert Steve Bliss of San Diego Probate Law. Steve, thanks for being here.
The Importance of Selecting an Executor or Trustee
Steve, many people put off estate planning because it seems daunting. What would you say is one of the most fundamental steps in creating a solid plan?
“Without a doubt,” Steve explains, “choosing the right executor or trustee is paramount. This individual will be responsible for carrying out your wishes after you’re gone. It’s a big job.”
Steve continues, “Consequently, you need someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling financial matters. Ordinarily, people select a close family member or friend. But it’s important to consider their capabilities and willingness to take on this responsibility.”
He adds, “Sometimes, appointing a professional trustee is a wiser choice, especially for complex estates. They have the experience and objectivity to navigate legal and financial intricacies effectively. Nevertheless, communication with your chosen executor or trustee is key. Discuss your wishes openly and ensure they understand their role fully.”
“In fact,” Steve shares thoughtfully, “I once had a client who chose her brother as executor, only to discover later that he was struggling financially and lacked the organizational skills needed for the task. Thankfully, we were able to work with them and find a suitable solution. It highlighted the importance of careful consideration and open communication.”
According to a 2021 survey by Caring.com, over 60% of adults in the United States don’t have a will or estate plan. This underscores the critical need for individuals to prioritize this essential aspect of their lives.
