Your parents died with a living trust, and you’re the person designated to fulfill the wishes in the trust.
You’re going to need to carry out the plan they put together. There are fiduciary duties that need to be met, and not meeting them could lead to major legal liability.
You’ll need to give legal notice to several parties, complete the proper tax forms, pay off any creditors, and make sure everyone gets what they’re owed.
Should I hire an attorney to help administer the trust?
