As you begin to think about your estate plan, you will need to consider the persons that you would like to have involved in your plan. Obviously, this includes your beneficiaries—those persons that you would like to receive property from your estate. Not so obvious are those persons that you would like to serve as executor, trustee, and guardian. While not as frightening as lions, tigers, and bears, thinking about those persons that you want to serve as your executor, trustee, and guardian may be worrisome. Having a general understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each will help you navigate the road towards a sound estate plan.
