Are there a support groups for new successor trustees/executors?

I found a site on the bar ass'n. with guardianship guides for all states. See americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/uncategorized/2011/2011_aging_gship_st_hbks_2011.authcheckdam.pdf

Not sure if you have figured this process out, but you will need to get a new EIN number from the IRS. You can do this online. Managing a trust is a long process. I hope all is going well.

Go to the bank with proof you are the Executor. Most banks have a Trust Department and can assign you an account manager to help you. If you have a personal attorney, ask him if he handles Estates and if he can connect you to a CPA for help with tax returns for the Estate.
