What is an executor?
In general, the executor is the person named in your Will to settle your affairs after your death. Your executor will file your Will with the probate court, pay your debts, distribute your assets as provided for in your Will, and oversee the entire probate process until your estate is closed.
What is a guardian?
In general, a guardian is a person named in a Will who is responsible for the support, education, and welfare of the deceased person’s minor children. Keep in mind that if your minor child’s other parent is living, he or she will likely be given custody of your minor child.
What are my responsibilities as a trustee?
In general, the trustee controls the assets in the trust. If simplifying probate is one of your goals, you will transfer assets into the trust during your lifetime.
What happens if I name more than one alternative?
In general, if you name two people, they will have to agree on any decisions that are made. If you name three or more people, they will act by majority vote.
Please let me know if you need more information or have any other questions.
Settlor (also called Grantor or Trustor)
Meaning: The Settlor is the person who creates the trust and transfers assets into it.
Role: They decide the terms of the trust — such as who will manage it (the trustee) and who will benefit from it (the beneficiaries).
Example:
Suppose John creates a trust and places his house and investments into it. John is the Settlor because he set up the trust and contributed the assets.
