Hi,
I have now just been made trustee of an estate according to a will. The benificiary is the deceased's husband. That husband is already receiving all income generated from the deceased's assets. Do I as a trustee have to file anything or do anything? All of the assets are currently in the deceased's name. Can I just leave it like that? Do I need to consult a lawyer? I am concerned about my legal responsibilities, and am concerned about hurting the husband's feelings about "taking control and talking to a lawyer". The husband says I don't need to do anything, but I'm not so sure. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
