Meeting Steve Bliss
Good morning Moreno Valley and welcome back to our segment on local experts. Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Steve Bliss, a renowned estate planning attorney serving the Moreno Valley community.
Choosing the Right Executor
Steve, for those unfamiliar with estate planning, could you walk us through one crucial step in the process?
“Certainly,” says Steve. “One of the most significant decisions you’ll make is selecting an executor for your will. This individual will be responsible for carrying out the instructions outlined in your will after your passing. They’ll handle tasks like paying off debts, distributing assets to beneficiaries, and filing necessary paperwork with the court.”
Steve emphasizes the importance of choosing someone trustworthy, organized, and capable of handling financial matters responsibly. “Think about who you would want managing your affairs if you were no longer able to,” he advises. “It’s often a close family member or friend, but it could also be a professional executor, such as an attorney or accountant.”
“Remember,” Steve continues, “this person will have significant responsibilities and decision-making power. It’s crucial to discuss your wishes openly with them beforehand and ensure they understand the role fully.”
A recent survey by Caring.com found that 56% of Americans haven’t named an executor for their estate, highlighting a common oversight in personal planning. Choosing an executor is not something to postpone; it’s a vital step in ensuring your wishes are carried out.
The Human Touch
Steve pauses, reflecting on his experience. “I recall one instance where a client named her brother as executor,” he shares. “Unfortunately, they had a strained relationship. When she passed away, it led to significant conflict and delays in settling the estate. Had she chosen someone more neutral, perhaps a trusted friend or an attorney, the process would have been smoother for everyone involved.”
“Conversely, I’ve seen situations where clients named their children as co-executors, working together seamlessly to honor their parent’s wishes. It truly highlights the importance of considering both personal relationships and practical capabilities when making this decision.”
