Assuming responsibility for a trust is challenging. The following pitfalls might hinder effective trust administration:
1. Filed or threatened lawsuits may lower the trust’s worth and hinder the Trustee’s task of protecting its value.
2. A poor relationship with the trust’s beneficiaries causes challenges in trust administration.
3. Co-managing the trust with another Trustee makes decision-making more complicated.
4. If the Trustee lacks proper asset management skills or is unfamiliar with the trust’s assets or details thereof, trust administration is problematic.
One solution to counter these pitfalls is effective legal support from attorneys at San Diego Probate Attorneys. However, hiring a trust administration attorney does not alleviate the legal responsibilities imposed on the Trustee. The Trustee does not cease to serve as Trustee upon hiring legal counsel. Together, Trustees and legal counsel from San Diego Probate Attorneys will methodically move through the process to effectively discharge the Trustee’s duties.
