What to Consider when Choosing a Trustee
Choosing a trustee is one of the most important decisions when setting up a trust. The right person can make management of your trust quick and easy. The wrong person can lead to mismanagement, conflict and disregard of your wishes.
A good trustee will exhibit the following traits.
Trustworthy & Ethical The trustee has a lot of power and is often
working without any court oversight.
Good with Money They should be comfortable with managing
property, making financial decisions and managing resources.
Understands your Values Since they will be carrying out your wishes,
they should understand them and your values.
Fair & Impartial If there are multiple beneficiaries, the trustee should be
able to manage the property without unfairly favoring one over another.
Communicates Well A trustee will need to communicate with
many people, including family, beneficiaries, banks, real estate
agents and government agencies.
Can Ask for Help Administering a trust can be complicated and time-consuming. A good trustee will not be afraid to ask for help when necessary.
A family member or trusted friend can be a great option if they exhibit these traits - but make sure they are up for the challenge. Check with them beforehand to make sure they are willing to serve. If not, they could help identify someone who would be more appropriate and willing to serve as your trustee.
