In a way, I’d prefer enlisting a fiduciary at a reputable but smaller ‘get-to-know-you’ business rather than a larger less personal financial company, but don’t know how to find or evaluate such groups. Or if they’ll still be around when I’m not.
I would suggest that you attempt to convert as many assets as possible into a "transfer-on-death" ownership, so the will becomes less important. All of my assets are titled that way, except for my house. And, I am considering getting a ladybird deed for the house, so that there will be no need to probate my will because all of the assets will transfer automatically at death.
