Trustees 101: Basics of Trustee Roles, Powers, and Property Authority

Episode Summary

Over the last 50 years, it’s become common for real estate and estate planning clients to hold title to property in trust. However, varied trust forms and the reliance on trustee certificates rather than full trust documents can create title issues, especially when original trustees have passed away or become incompetent.
