The following DO's and DON'Ts are basic rules which you should follow to properly and cornreniently perform your trust duties: DO 'I. Use a checking account for all money paid out. Your cancelled checks are the best record of how you have spent the trust money. ;Z. Keep an accurate record of all receipts and all disbursements. The form on the other side could help you. 3. Obtain written Court approval before you pay out any substantial monies or d'ospose of any property. 4. Consult with your attorney at all times. Help and advice are what you are paying for. 5. Invest and manage assets of the estate as a prudent investor would, exercising reasonable care, skill and caution. On larger estates, it is wise to consult a professional investor. DC) NOT 1. Treat the property as your own, even if you are an heir or relative. It is not yours until the Court and the law says it is. Keep the property separate from yours. Not doing so could be a criminal offense. 2. Spend any major amounts without the Court's written approval. 3. Be afraid to ask your attorney for advice and guidance. It will help make the work easier for both of you. 4. Delay in reporting to the Court. Follow your attorney's directions on signing papers and filing them with the Court. IMPORTANT: You can only be relieved of your fiduciary responsibilities by the court. Please consult with your attorney or the Court about obtaining a release when your duties are concluded. REMEMBER: ASK FOR AND FOLLOW YOUR ATTORNEY'S ADVICE and DO NOT TREAT THE PROPERTY AS YOUR OWN (OVER) Form 12~'~4-3-2000
