The gateway to the Route of the Pueblos Blancos, this beautiful hilltop village is the perfect place for a stroll through the old streets or a lunch stop at an outdoor patio. Perched on a hillside at the edge of a cliff above the Río Guadalete, Arcos de la Frontera is a National Historic Monument. Simple whitewashed houses line the streets, and a Moorish fortress sits on the hilltop. The castle dates back to the 11th century, but was later rebuilt after the Christian Reconquest.

We all know what can happen when you don't have a Will or Trust. So why, then, do so many people die without an estate plan? Besides procrastination, which we all experience, and failure to make it a financial priority, I think many people just don't know what to do.

Incapacity When There is a Trust

Jan 7, 2025 | thesantamonicastar.com | Lisa Alexander

What happens when a person with a Trust loses capacity? First, thank goodness the person had a Trust in the first place! The Successor Trustee named in the Trust can take over management of the Trust assets. The Successor Trustee can access money to pay bills and make sure the incapacitated person is cared for. Logistically, the person named as Successor Trustee should review the Trust for the provisions appliable to incapacity.
