If you do decide to get a living trust, you will need to pick out a trustee. Most living trusts are revocable and grantors (owners) of the trust simply make themselves the trustee. So, you can maintain full control of the trust while alive.


But, the next question is: What about when you die? Who will be your successor trustee? That will be the person charged with carrying out your wishes; delivering your assets to the beneficiaries you have named in the trust.


Many people name a family member to be the successor trustee. However, another option is to name a corporate trustee. One advantage of doing that is that a corporate trustee can act in "perpetuity." As long as the corporation is around, it can serve as trustee. This largely solves the problem of what to do if your trustee dies.


 

Corporate trustee's are also well equipped to answer questions from beneficiaries and/or the probate court (if necessary). They are likely to maintain a high level of accounting for your assets and accountability for them.


This site provides lots of information about various types of living trusts as well as advantages and disadvantages to them. Another good source of information is Legalhelpmate.


At any rate, if you have read this far, odds are high that it would be a good idea for you to at least talk to a Maine living trust attorney about your options. You can find one at Legal Match -- and best of all -- there is no charge to you for their "matching" service. Best of luck in finding the right estate planning/living trust lawyer for you.
