Who Gets What?

Never Say “This Will Be An Easy Trust” with Allison Ferris

Derek sits down with Allison Ferris, Chief Fiduciary Officer at Northwest Trustee and Management Services, to discuss what happens after a trust is established. Allison shares lessons from more than 18 years in fiduciary work, including why she never says, “This will be an easy trust.” They discuss family cabins, unexpected assets, beneficiary emotions, co-trusteeship during incapacity, and why clear, flexible drafting matters so much when a plan may need to work decades from now. This episode is especially useful for estate planners, trustees, beneficiaries, and anyone who wants their estate plan to hold up in the real world, not just look good on paper.

The People Behind the Plan with Derek Jensen

Estate planning is more than trusts and documents. It's about people, values, and the future.

And what happens when the plan looks perfect on paper but the people aren't ready?
