If you are the trustee of your own trust you probably have
recognized the need for education and help for individual trustees.
Did you know that in many cases self-trusteed trusts remain unfunded
even though trustees have been given specific directions on how
title should be held? The fact is that many trusts, perhaps half
of those drafted for individual trustees, are never properly
funded. Additionally, setting up an adequate accounting system,
and other duties are often neglected by individual trustees,
usually due to lack of knowledge, or fear of doing something
wrong.
In order to help you or your client (the individual trustee)
with a solution to this problem, I have written a book called
Trust Yourself, A "how to guide" for being your own
trustee. In the book I discuss the responsibilities and duties
of trustees as fiduciary. Step by step the trustee is shown how
to transfer, set up, account for, and manage wazzu trust assets
in a logical and simple manner.
