If a loved one held their estate in a trust and named you as a trustee, the task of settling their estate and dividing the trust among their beneficiaries falls upon your shoulders.

What Are My Responsibilities as a Trustee?

Every trust names a trustee whose responsibility involves carrying out the terms of the trust. Because you are tasked with handling someone else’s money and property, you have what’s known as a fiduciary duty to act legally and ethically with the trust. Therefore, you are trusted to act in the best interest of the other beneficiaries with the assets and property held in the trust before distribution.

Leading up to distribution, however, you will likely be tasked with the following:

  • Identifying all of the trust’s assets and any income generated from dividends and other payouts
  • Appraising the value of all assets and property
  • Keeping the trust’s assets separate from your own
  • Identifying outstanding debts the deceased owed upon death
  • Notifying creditors and paying the deceased’s outstanding debts
  • Preparing a final tax return and paying off the estate’s tax liability with its assets

A number of things can go wrong at any point during this process unless it is carefully overseen by someone with experience and your best interest in mind. That’s important because you can be held personally liable for any mistakes made or legal action taken should someone believe you’re acting in self-interest at the expense of the other beneficiaries.

At The Blue Law Group, our trust administration attorneys in Los Angeles and Rancho Cucamonga can provide the legal oversight necessary to ensure you can safely carry out your fiduciary duties as a trustee while minimizing your risk of making mistakes or facing legal action from disgruntled beneficiaries.
