Q: Do I have to name a successor trustee for my living will in Arkansas?
I live in Arkansas and I'm working on my revocable living trust online with NoLo software and ran into a problem. I would like for my son to be my successor trustee in the event I am incapacitated but I also have him as my executor. It will not let me choose him to be both because of conflict of interest. I don't have anyone else or want anyone else for this position and he is also my beneficiary. Although, I do need a successor trustee but do i need to choose anyone at all or can it be left blank so he can be the executor?
