Choosing Your Trustee
A trustee oversees the assets you place in a trust and administers the trust for the beneficiaries. Your trustee will:
- Make trust payments to you
- Invest the assets prudently
- Complete the necessary tax returns
- Notify you how much of your payments are taxable.
The most important qualities of a trustee are integrity and judgment.
You may decide to serve as your own trustee or name a professional advisor as your trustee. You can also choose a professional trustee, such as a bank or trust company. Many people name a professional as a co-trustee along with a family member. You will want to decide which traits are important to you.
