Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

It's up to the trustee, who must exercise prudence. Of course, the trustee should consider that taxes for this year might become due in April. There also might be hospital and other medical bills that will need to be paid, as well as utilities. Sometimes, bills might not arrive for two or three months, if not longer. So long as sufficient funds for all of these purposes are retained, I applaud the trustee's attempt to settle the estate expeditiously. The trustee should make sure to keep an accounting, copy all checks and bills, etc., in case someone challenges some of the Trustee's actions.
