Pankauski’s Trustee’s Guide: one of a kind, revealing, behind-the-scenes look at individual trustees of family trusts

• Are YOU Ready for the Largest Transfer of Generational Wealth in history?
• $59 Trillion in inheritances are passing from the WWII Generation to the Baby Boomers, Gens X and Y, right now !
• And most of the inheritances are in a trust !
• Question:  What does it mean for you to be a trustee?
• Answer:  In Pankauski’s Trustee’s Guide, author John Pankauski makes the assumption that you’ve been asked to serve as trustee – or you’ve been “appointed” trustee in a trust document – by someone you know.
• Before you agree to be a trustee of a revocable trust that is now irrevocable, it’s important that you realize it’s your job, as a trustee, to objectively and fairly determine who gets the money – and who doesn’t.
• You’ll be dealing with friends and/or family, determining what they can and can’t have, and you can’t screw this up.
• Pankauski’s Trustee’s Guide enables you to turn to the attorney other attorneys turn to when they need help with trust issues, and let him guide you by the hand through this potential emotional and legal minefield – with a surprising mix of humor and even a bit of irony, to keep it all interesting.
