Trust Administration Legal Services

Full-Service Trust Administration Services

When it comes to trust administration, The Gunn Law Firm is your reliable partner. If you create a trust, trust administration becomes a crucial aspect of your estate plan. By placing your assets in a trust, you transfer ownership of those assets to the trust. Because the trust owns the assets, they do not go through probate upon your death. Instead, they are managed and distributed according to the terms of the trust document, typically by a trustee you will appoint in the document.

During your lifetime, you may serve as the initial trustee, with the appointment of a successor trustee to take over management of the trust assets in the event of your incapacity or death. In simplest terms, a trustee is a fiduciary who stands in the place of the creator of the trust and represents the interests of those who are in line to benefit from the trust. Trustees often require the assistance of a lawyer to ensure that they act consistently with the trust language and fulfill their fiduciary duties effectively.
