Most people have questions about estate planning and elder law—but some questions feel too awkward, uncomfortable, or even embarrassing to ask out loud. In this episode of Aging Starts Now, host Dana Hentschel sits down with Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning associate attorney Josh Hunter to tackle the questions people often save for private consultations or ask only after everyone else has left the room. Together, they discuss: • Can I pay myself for serving as someone's attorney-in-fact? • Can I make gifts to myself under a Power of Attorney? • Can an executor pay themselves? • Does an executor have to follow the will exactly? • What happens when everyone agrees the will is unfair? • Must a trustee always follow the trust's instructions? • What if a trustee believes the trust is making a bad decision? • Can an attorney-in-fact hand the job off to someone else? • What if I don't want to serve as attorney-in-fact, trustee, or executor? • Can I be sued for serving in one of these roles? If you've ever been named in a Power of Attorney, trust, or will—or if you're considering who should serve in those positions—this episode provides practical answers to some of the most misunderstood responsibilities in estate planning.
