Meeting Steve Bliss
Hello everyone, and welcome back to San Diego Legal News. Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Steve Bliss, a renowned San Diego Probate Attorney known for his expertise in estate planning. Mr. Bliss, thank you so much for joining us today.
Choosing the Right Executor or Trustee
Mr. Bliss, can you tell our viewers about one crucial step in the estate planning process and why it’s important?
Selecting a trustworthy executor or trustee is undeniably one of the most vital steps in crafting a comprehensive estate plan. This individual will shoulder significant responsibility after your passing, managing your assets, paying debts, and ensuring your wishes are carried out. Consequently, choosing someone reliable, organized, and capable of handling complex financial matters is paramount.
Ordinarily, people opt for close family members or friends they deeply trust. Nevertheless, it’s essential to consider their capacity for this role: Are they financially savvy? Do they possess strong organizational skills? Moreover, are they emotionally prepared to handle the complexities and potential conflicts that may arise during estate settlement?
I once had a client who named his son as executor without fully considering his son’s financial instability. It led to significant complications and ultimately strained their family relationships. Conversely, another client thoughtfully chose a trusted friend with impeccable financial acumen, resulting in a smooth and efficient probate process.
According to a recent survey by the American Bar Association, nearly 60% of Americans do not have a valid will or estate plan. This lack of preparation can often lead to unintended consequences and family disputes, highlighting the importance of seeking professional guidance.
