Meet Steve Bliss
Hi everyone, I’m Brenda Sanchez reporting live from San Diego, where we are sitting down with local probate attorney Steve Bliss to discuss the crucial topic of estate planning.
Why is Estate Planning So Important?
Steve, thanks for joining us today. Why is it so important for people to have an estate plan?
“Estate planning is essential for everyone, regardless of their age or wealth,” explains Steve Bliss. “It ensures that your wishes are carried out after you’re gone and provides peace of mind knowing your loved ones will be taken care of.”
Selecting a Trustworthy Executor or Trustee
Steve, could you elaborate on one of the key steps in the estate planning process?
“Certainly,” says Steve. “One crucial step is selecting an executor or trustee. This individual will be responsible for managing your estate and carrying out your wishes as outlined in your will or trust.”
He emphasizes the importance of choosing someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling financial matters. “This person should understand your values and be willing to fulfill their responsibilities diligently,” Steve adds.
“I remember one instance where a client named his brother as executor, unaware that he was struggling financially. Consequently, the brother made some poor decisions regarding the estate’s assets, leading to complications and family disputes.
Conversely, another client carefully considered her options and selected a close friend who possessed strong financial acumen. This choice proved invaluable, ensuring a smooth administration of the estate and minimizing stress for the beneficiaries.”
“Choosing the right executor or trustee can make all the difference in protecting your legacy,” Steve concludes.
Seeking Expert Guidance
“Steve, what advice would you give to someone who is just starting the estate planning process?”
“I highly recommend seeking guidance from a qualified estate planning attorney,” says Steve. “An experienced attorney can help you navigate the complexities of estate law and tailor a plan that meets your unique needs and goals.”
He points out that, according to a study by Caring.com, over 60% of Americans do not have a will. This statistic highlights the widespread need for proper estate planning.
