Establishing a trust is an important step in a family’s wealth and estate planning, but choosing the right person to oversee it can be just as important.
In this episode of The Business of Family, Tammy Buss welcomes back Jandy John, Senior Director at Concentra Trust, for a conversation about one of the most important decisions families face when establishing a trust: who should be the trustee?
Tammy and Jandy explore what a trustee actually does, the legal and fiduciary responsibilities involved, and how much discretion a trustee may have. They also discuss what qualities families should look for in a trustee, whether a family member is always the best choice, and the challenges that can arise when personal relationships and fiduciary responsibilities overlap.
If your family has a trust, or is considering establishing one, this conversation offers practical questions to consider before choosing the person responsible for carrying out your wishes.

When the Will and the Shareholders' Agreement Collide
In this episode of Family Matters: Legal Edition, Tammy Buss and Yola Ventresca are joined by Kim Cura, Partner at Lerners LLP, to explore what can happen when estate planning and corporate agreements don’t align.
A founder may leave shares in the family business to a child in their will, only for a shareholders’ agreement to require those shares to be bought out when they die. The result can be unexpected consequences for the next generation, disputes between siblings, and questions about what the founder truly intended.
Kim breaks down which documents can take precedence, why these conflicts happen, and how they can affect succession, ownership, and family relationships.
Listen to the podcast to learn how family business owners can protect their intentions, prepare the next generation, and help ensure their legal documents work together rather than against each other.
