Keep these trustee traits front and center

Description

Abstract: A critical but often overlooked aspect of estate planning is deciding who will serve as the trustee for your estate. This person will be responsible for managing all related financial, tax and administrative affairs and, therefore, should be chosen carefully. This article addresses the trustee’s duties and the decision about whether to designate an individual or a corporate trustee to handle settling the estate. Trustee services and fees also are discussed.
