Trust administration

A trust is a legal structure established to transfer assets to beneficiaries (often your spouse, children, grandchildren, or a charity). In fact, establishing your trust may be the most important financial legacy you ever create. To establish a trust, you provide instructions in an agreement prepared by an attorney. Trusts outline exactly when and how you want to distribute your assets. Whether you have children from a previous marriage, a special-needs child to support, properties in multiple states, or many other reasons, a trust may be right for you. We provide the personalized service you deserve.

Trust vs. will: what is right for me?
