Please watch our pre-recorded webinar in our Smart Counsel Series which aired on Thursday, May 18, 2023 virtually via Zoom. Attorneys Suzanne R. Sayward and Megan L. Bartholomew presented the Do’s and Don’ts of serving as a Trustee.

If you have been named to serve as Trustee for a family member or friend, or if you have created a Trust in which you have named someone to serve in that role should you become incapacitated or when you pass away, you may be wondering what is involved in taking on such a commitment. The answer is – A LOT!

The presenters discussed the specific tasks a Trustee must undertake along with the general duties and responsibilities of a Trustee. Examples of the right way – and the wrong way – of carrying out the duties of serving as a Trustee can help you understand what is involved in serving in this important role.
