Why I Created Trustee Roadmap
I'm Darlynn Morgan—attorney, educator and someone who understands this role professionally and personally.
When my husband died at thirty-six, I suddenly found myself facing the same paperwork, financial decisions, and legal questions that families deal with after a loss.
That experience—and nearly 30 years of helping families through trust administration—is why I created Trustee Roadmap: to give successor trustees practical guidance when they need it most.
