Comprehensive Trust Administration Services

Ensuring that your trust is properly administered is an essential part of preserving your estate’s integrity and ensuring that your wishes are carried out exactly as you intended. Our trust administration services provide clarity, legal compliance, and peace of mind during what can be a challenging time of transition.

Why Trust Administration is Needed

Trust administration becomes necessary when changes in your personal or family circumstances require the trust’s structure to be updated or when the trust needs to be fully executed. Key reasons include:

Transition of Authority: When a trustee passes away or is incapacitated, the trust must reflect the new acting trustee.

Financial Institution Requirements: Financial institutions often require updated trust certifications that clearly identify the current successor trustee.

Marital Trust Adjustments: In the case of a marital trust, the surviving spouse may need to restate the trust to clarify who the acting and surviving trustee is following the death of the other spouse.

Proper trust administration ensures that all parties have accurate, up-to-date documentation, which helps prevent disputes and facilitates the smooth management of your estate.

Who Needs Trust Administration Services?

Our trust administration services are designed for individuals and families who:

Have Experienced a Loss: Whether due to the death of a trustee or spouse, these services help ensure a seamless transition of responsibilities.

Require Updated Legal Documentation: Estate planning or financial institutions often need current, certified documents to verify the acting trustee’s authority.

Maintain a Marital Trust: If you have a marital trust, restating the trust is crucial after the death of a spouse to clearly designate the surviving trustee and ensure continued control over the trust’s assets.
