The Important Responsibilities of Successor Trustees, Executors, and Powers of Attorney with Jim Burch

Putting in the right people to act in your Estate Plan is as important as any other decision. Who will act as your successor trustee (trusts), executor (wills), and financial powers of attorney for finances and healthcare decisions will impact how your estate plan is executed upon death. On the other side of the coin, if you are named as one of these important individuals, it is important to understand your responsibilities to carry out the wishes of the people entrusting you with this responsibility. Jim Burch of EasyLegalPlanning.com outlines all of this in this video. Want your estate plan set up?
