We have four grown children and three young adult grandchildren. There are currently squabbles (okay, more serious than squabbles) between the two oldest children who are also the two most capable of being executors and trustees of our estate. We don't want to force them to work together or put one of them over the other as successor trustee. It's possible the oldest grandchild would be willing and able to be our successor trustee but keeping the job outside of the family might be best. Who have you appointed successor trustee if you have decided not to make a family member executor and trustee? What is a reasonable fee for an outsider to charge for executing and estate?
