Naming a Fiduciary Who Will Just Hire the Firm

Naming a Fiduciary Who Will Just Hire the Firm. Many clients want to name their children, friends or other family members in fiduciary roles in their estate planning documents. Some may also have the expectation that these individuals will simply request the law firm that drafted their documents to assist them. In this podcast, we discuss why this is not always the case.

Which is why you should take some time to think before naming a fiduciary who will just hire the firm.
