Notify Attorney and Preliminary Issues
After the death of the trust
settlor, the trustee should immediately contact the attorney who drafted the
trust document. The trustee can obtain copies of the trust documents from the
attorney and begin to assemble the necessary paperwork to administer the trust.
The attorney will help the
trustee prepare and record the affidavit of death, which informs the public and
the government that the settlor is now deceased.
