Successor Trustee First Steps

Begin with authority, documents, assets, records, and communication.

Start with the structure

A successor trustee should first locate the complete trust, confirm when authority begins, secure trust property, establish reliable records, identify professional needs, and avoid premature distributions.

Practical next step

Trustees have fiduciary responsibilities. Obtain advice before making decisions that affect beneficiaries, taxes, creditor issues, or significant assets.
