Trustee Services

Trustees manage your assets, handle day-to-day financial matters and ensure a smooth transition of assets to your heirs. We are held to the highest standard of care, “a fiduciary duty,” when following your written wishes.

A trustee’s duty includes understanding and following the terms of the trust, managing clients’ assets, maintaining or selling a residence, managing a commercial property, and ensuring the timely filing of tax returns. These are some significant examples, and there may be more depending on your estate.

A trustee should also be able to communicate clearly and on a regular basis with beneficiaries. It is important to keep everyone informed as to the activities performed on behalf of the estate to elicit trust and provide peace of mind.
