If you have been named as a successor trustee of a trust and the maker of the trust has passed away, you need to immediately contact an experienced estate planning and trust administration attorney. There are many time sensitive issues that need to be addressed upon the passing of an individual. If you donât contact the attorney timely, you could actually be held liable for failure of your duty to contact the beneficiaries and notify them of the passing of the individual under the terms of the trust. Iâm Lisa Allred and Iâm a team member of Wealth Strategies Counsel. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your estate planning, trust administration and probate needs.
