Helping families serve as Trustees for beneficiaries and loved-ones
Trust Administration
Perhaps you have just faced the pain of losing a loved one, and you are beginning to look at all the steps you must take in your new role as a Trustee. If you were named as the Trustee of a decedent’s trust, it can be more than a little stressful going through their things, finding their financials accounts and deeds, paying their debts, closing bank accounts, paying their taxes, and administering the Trust they left behind. There is a lot to handle – not the least of which also includes distributing assets to the beneficiaries in a fair and legal way.
The job of a Trustee is a weighty one, and you must either educate yourself deeply in how to administer a trust, or hire a firm like ours to administer the trust for you. If, for example, you have now lost both of your parents and you have siblings, it will be vital to do everything in your power to be fair and equitable to every beneficiary of your parents’ estate, as well as follow the terms of the Will and Trust—and do your best to prevent friction and misunderstanding among heirs. In fact, you can be held liable for errors and omissions in your administration of the trust, if not careful.
