Serving as the trustee of a living trust after someone has died can be a big task—and you probably wonder just where you’re supposed to start.  The Trustee’s Legal Companion contains the help you need to get organized, get moving, and do a good job.

You’ll learn how to:

• decide whether or not to take on the job of trustee
