Selecting your Fiduciary

December 1, 2016 by West Hunsaker Leave a Comment

When putting your estate plan in place, one of the most critical decisions is naming the person or entity that will make your decisions when you can’t.  Collectively, this role is a fiduciary.
The fiduciary is a person or entity who has a legal obligation to make decisions in your best interest.  This would be the “agent” under a power of attorney.  This would be the personal representative / executor under a last will.  This would be the trustee under a trust.
The role requires many skills.  Foremost is the ability to carry out your wishes in a manner that you have described in your documents.
While you are thinking through the selection process, it is important to know that the fiduciary has a “job” to do.  It is work.  It takes time and effort.
We are here to help you navigate this crucial decision.  We are here to walk you through the pros and cons of selecting your son or daughter, selecting a trusted friend, or having a corporate fiduciary fill the role (such as a bank, trust company, CPA or law firm).
We want your selection of fiduciary work for you and your loved ones.  Call us today to schedule your complimentary consultation with one of our estate planning attorneys.
