Question: My father passed away last year. (My mother passed away several years ago.) He had a revocable trust that says that upon his death the trust holdings, his home and some investment accounts, be distributed to me and my two siblings. I’m the successor trustee. What should I do now with respect to the trust?

Response: The trust will end when all of the property it holds is distributed. Assuming you and your siblings want to sell the house, it’s easiest to wait to dissolve the trust until the sale goes through. That way, there’s just one seller — the trust — rather than three — you and your siblings.
