An Executor is when there’s a will; an Administrator is when there’s no will; a Successor Trustee is when there’s a trust. Executors and Administrators are subject to Probate Court; the Successor trustee is not.

Your trustee has to make decisions during your incapacity and at the time you die; make sure it’s someone you trust! (No pun intended)

Who should I pick as my trustee? Or successor trustee? There are some things you should consider when deciding.
