Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

It should not matter if everything has been implemented properly, however to give a proper answer an attorney would need to review the trust and the entire situation.

Usually, people select their first choice as a Trustee, and then list successor Trustees who would be appointed to act if their first choice is unwilling or unable to do so. If you know that a first choice will probably not be available, it could be a helpful time to review the Trust with a professional. Feel free to contact the attorney that prepared the Trust. If s/he can't help you (or is going to be expensive about it), feel free to contact me. I would not charge you to take a quick look at the document and answer some simple questions about Trustees.

Lawguru.com seems to be having some issues. Regardless of what this webpage says, I provided this post, and the post beginning with "Usually, people select..." -- and no other post.
