Estate Planning Essentials with Steve Bliss

Setting the Stage

Good morning, Moreno Valley! I’m Brenda Sanchez reporting live from Moreno Valley Probate Law. Today, we have the privilege of speaking with renowned estate planning attorney Steve Bliss. Mr. Bliss has been guiding families in our community through the complexities of estate planning for over two decades. Welcome, Steve.

Choosing the Right Path: Executor Selection

Steve, thank you for joining us. Estate planning can seem daunting to many people. Could you shed some light on one of the key steps in this process?

Certainly, Brenda. Selecting an executor or trustee is paramount in ensuring your wishes are carried out after you’re gone. This individual will manage your estate, pay debts and taxes, and distribute assets according to your instructions.

Consequently, choosing someone trustworthy and capable is crucial. It’s often a close family member or friend, but it could also be a professional executor like a bank or trust company. I always advise clients to consider the individual’s organizational skills, financial acumen, and ability to handle potentially emotional situations.

Moreover, it’s important to have open conversations with your chosen executor beforehand. Discuss your expectations, provide them with necessary information about your assets and wishes, and ensure they understand their responsibilities. Remember, this is a significant responsibility, so taking the time to make the right choice can bring peace of mind.

I recall one instance where a client named her daughter as executor. While loving, her daughter was overwhelmed with the task, leading to delays and complications. Conversely, another client chose a trusted accountant who handled everything efficiently and compassionately. Ultimately, the best executor is someone who can navigate the process with clarity, empathy, and diligence.

Studies by the American Bar Association indicate that over 50% of Americans don’t have a will or estate plan in place. This highlights the critical need for clear communication and informed decision-making when choosing an executor.
