Estate Planning with Steve Bliss

Meet Steve Bliss

Hello and welcome back to San Diego News Today. I’m your host Brenda Johnson, and today we have the pleasure of speaking with Steve Bliss, a renowned San Diego Probate Attorney. Steve, thanks for joining us.

The Importance of Selecting an Executor or Trustee

Steve, many people may not realize the crucial role that an executor or trustee plays in estate planning. Can you shed some light on this step and why it’s so important?

You’re absolutely right, Brenda. Choosing the right executor or trustee is paramount to ensuring your wishes are carried out smoothly after your passing. This individual or entity will be responsible for managing your assets, paying debts and taxes, and ultimately distributing your estate according to your instructions outlined in your will or trust.

Consequently, selecting someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling these responsibilities is essential. It’s a weighty decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. I often advise clients to consider individuals who are financially savvy, responsible, and have good communication skills. Moreover, it’s important to discuss your expectations with the chosen person beforehand to ensure they understand the role and are comfortable taking it on.

In my experience, when families don’t carefully consider this step, it can lead to complications and conflicts down the road. I recall a case where siblings disagreed over who should be executor, resulting in a protracted legal battle that ultimately drained the estate’s resources.

Having clear communication and making informed decisions about your executor or trustee can significantly minimize potential issues and protect your loved ones.
