Setting the Stage
Today, we’re sitting down with Steve Bliss, a well-respected estate planning attorney here in Moreno Valley. We’re going to delve into some crucial aspects of estate planning and learn how Steve helps his clients navigate this often complex process.
Choosing the Right Executor: A Vital Decision
Steve, thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. Many people find estate planning daunting. What’s one step in the process that you feel is particularly crucial but often overlooked?
“Selecting an executor or trustee is absolutely fundamental,” Steve emphasizes. “This individual will be responsible for carrying out your wishes as outlined in your will or trust. It’s a weighty responsibility, and choosing wisely can prevent complications and heartache down the road.”
Steve explains that finding someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling financial matters is essential. Ordinarily, people choose a close family member or friend. Nevertheless, he advises considering factors like age, health, and even geographical proximity.
“I’ve seen situations where an executor lived far away, making communication and managing estate affairs challenging,” Steve shares. “Conversely, sometimes individuals are simply overwhelmed by the task. It’s crucial to have open conversations with potential executors about their willingness and ability to take on this role.”
According to a study by the American Bar Association, nearly 60% of adults don’t have a will. This lack of planning often leads to unintended consequences and family disputes during an already difficult time.
Steve recounts a story about a client who chose their son as executor without fully considering his financial situation. “The son was struggling financially himself,” Steve says. “Managing the estate became a burden, leading to tension within the family. Ultimately, we had to involve a professional trustee to ensure everything was handled properly.”
Taking Charge of Your Legacy
Steve emphasizes that estate planning isn’t just about distributing assets; it’s about ensuring your wishes are respected and providing for your loved ones.
“Don’t wait until it’s too late,” he urges. “Take the time to create a plan that reflects your values and protects your family’s future.”
