It’s a daunting process to administer any estate, but a trust estate, if you’re unfamiliar, you have to realize that you take on personal responsibility as a trustee, particularly if you may be held to a higher standard if you have a background in law or tax or anything like that. But you’d wanna hire an attorney to guide you, because there are just too many tax issues. There’s too many investment issues.
