We are currently updating our living trust and found that our named corporate trustee is now out of business so we are in the process of finding another one. The company we selected previously really didn't want us because we were not willing to turn our assets over to them. Our current financial advising company does not have a trust department. We have no children and being younger than my husband by 13 years, I expect to outlive him.
We need information on how to best evaluate a corporate trustee; i.e. what kinds of questions to ask, how to locate, does it matter if they are close to where we live, is a bank a good choice?
Are there any publications or books that we might read to help us in this matter?
