Review\n"Mary Randolph, an editor at Nolo, a publisher of do-it-yourself legal guides and author of The Executor's Guide, says it is a good idea to get a lawyer to help unwind a trust, especially if it will hold a significant amount of money. Trust owners can take some steps on their own--for example, going to a bank to change ownership of a trust-owned bank account back into their names as individuals. But if the trust holds a business or another asset, that could be more complicated.

"The Executor's Guide leads readers through the process of what they must do if they are named as executor. In a nutshell, they must gather the deceased person's assets, pay debts and taxes, and distribute what's left. This book helps them know what to expect, what decisions they will need to make, when to get help, and what questions to ask. One very important part of the job is dealing with family members. They'll want to know what's happening, which means they may have to field a lot of anxious questions. Why is it taking so long to distribute the assets? Shouldn't you sell Dad's stock (or car or house) before its value drops? Why can't I take the rocking chair Mother always told me she wanted me to have? What are you going to do about Mom's sister, who's taking things from the house?Savannah Jones, SirReadaLot.org\nThe step-by-step guide to serving as an executor
