Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Family trust

Recently I became sole trustee of a friend's trust. Is this peculiar and am I at some risk?

Re: Family trust

It is not so peculiar, but you do have responsibiities and fiduciary duties associated with being the trustee, breaching the duties could open you up to possible liability.

Most of your duties should be spelled out in the trust, but we would be happy to review it for you if you would like a better informed response.
