Answer to Question 1

Since Bob trusts both brothers, it may make more sense to appoint Ryan first because he has more time and fewer responsibilities. On the other hand, Jeff lives close by.

Answer to Question 2

Fiduciaries are held to a high moral and legal standard and must always act in the best interest of those whom they are appointed to serve. Fiduciary duties include the duties of loyalty, disclosure, accounting, obedience, and more. Fiduciaries are entrusted with the assets and property of others and must be organized, intelligent, honest, and loyal. Fiduciaries must be capable of engaging in business transactions such as making contracts and selling assets.
