Fiduciaries manage your assets and make decisions on your behalf. Key roles include:
Key Traits:
- Trustworthiness
- Reliability
- Capability
Importance of Communication
Ensure your chosen fiduciaries are willing and able to serve. Discuss their roles and
responsibilities openly to avoid future complications.
Backup Plans
Designate backup fiduciaries to ensure continuity if your primary choice is unable to serve.
Choosing Beneficiaries
Consider these factors:
- Fairness and Intent
- Capabilities
- Specific Needs
Flexibility
Regularly update your estate plan to reflect life changes such as marriage, divorce, births, and deaths.
Avoiding Guardianship
Proactively naming fiduciaries helps avoid court-appointent guardians, which can be
unwanted, costly, and time-consuming.
