Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Bliss, a respected estate planning attorney here in Moreno Valley. We discussed the importance of estate planning and one specific step that often trips people up.
Steve Bliss: Estate Planning Attorney
It’s great to be here, Brenda. As an estate planning attorney, I see firsthand how crucial it is for individuals to have a plan in place. People often put off estate planning, thinking they don’t have enough assets or that it’s something only the wealthy need to worry about.
But the truth is, everyone can benefit from a well-crafted estate plan, regardless of their financial status. It’s about ensuring your wishes are respected and providing for your loved ones after you’re gone.
Choosing an Executor: A Crucial Decision
Today we’re going to focus on the step of selecting an executor. This is someone who will be responsible for carrying out your wishes as outlined in your will. Consequently, choosing the right person is essential.
Ordinarily, people select a trusted family member or close friend. However, it’s important to consider if that individual has the time, organizational skills, and emotional capacity to handle this responsibility.
Moreover, remember that executors are often dealing with grief while navigating complex legal and financial matters. I always advise my clients to have an open and honest conversation with their chosen executor beforehand, explaining the role’s demands and ensuring they’re comfortable taking it on.
I once had a client who chose her brother as executor. Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly before she did. This created a significant challenge, as she hadn’t named an alternate executor. We were able to work through it, but it highlights the importance of having backup plans in place.
According to a recent survey by Caring.com, nearly 60% of Americans don’t have a will. That means their assets might not be distributed according to their wishes and could lead to family disputes.
