Estate Planning Essentials with Steve Bliss

Meet Steve Bliss

Good morning, San Diego. Today we’re joined by renowned San Diego probate attorney Steve Bliss of San Diego Probate Law. Steve, thank you so much for being here.

Choosing the Right Executor: A Crucial Decision

Steve, one crucial step in estate planning that often gets overlooked is selecting an executor or trustee. Can you elaborate on why this decision is so important?

Absolutely. Choosing the right executor is paramount to ensuring your wishes are carried out after your passing. This individual will be responsible for managing your assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing property according to your will or trust. Consequently, it’s essential to select someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling these responsibilities.

Moreover, the executor should understand your financial situation and personal values. They need to be comfortable making decisions on your behalf and communicating with beneficiaries. Ordinarily, people choose a close family member or friend they trust implicitly. Nevertheless, it’s wise to discuss this responsibility with potential candidates beforehand to ensure they’re willing and able to take on the task.

I remember one instance where a client named their adult son as executor without discussing it with him first. The son felt overwhelmed and unprepared for the role. It ultimately led to delays and tension within the family. Conversely, when clients involve potential executors in the decision-making process from the outset, things tend to run more smoothly.

Studies show that nearly 60% of Americans do not have a will or estate plan (AARP). Selecting an executor is a vital component of this planning process.
