070: Trustee Do’s and Don’ts Part Two

Being named a trustee is an honor, but it comes with a lot of responsibility. Legal work has to be done, and if you’re not familiar, the process can seem more like a burden. The tasks on hand aren’t necessarily rocket science, but there are a few things that we see clients tend to miss.

In a new episode of Absolute Trust Talk Live, Kirsten is joined by fellow Absolute Trust Counsel attorney Madison Gunn for another installment of Trustee Do’s and Don’ts. Kirsten and Madison will be walking through a handful of very serious mistakes that trustees and executors typically make, which can have consequences. These items include:

• Why surviving spouses still need to complete legal work even though they take over as trustee
• Official notifications that are often missed
• New laws that impact real estate inheritance

And more!

Whether you’ve just stepped into your role as trustee or are planning for the future, this is an important episode that everyone should listen to, so find a quiet spot because it’s time to press play.

[Ad] The job of a trustee isn’t as easy as one may think. You must give legal notices, retitle assets, file tax returns, understand a legal document, and perform a variety of tasks most people find unfamiliar. As a trustee, if you forget a step or make a mistake, you could be held liable.
