Trust and Estate Planning
Trust and Estate Planning
Trusts break down into two distinct camps: Revocable Trust vs. Irrevocable Trust. You may have also heard of a living trust and testamentary trusts. Both of these trusts have multiple sub-trust categories. The Trust is a capable vehicle for protecting, preserving, and passing on wealth in the event of a death or legal incapacitation. It allows you to select your trustee(s) and assist you in granting to heirs and beneficiaries in an orderly fashion.

Trust Administration
What is Trust Administration
When the grantor departs, the trust administration begins. As a trustee, the grantor has bestowed you with their estate to manage and distribute it per their requirements. Trust administration implements the Trust per the law, per the grantor’s wishes, and the Trust’s terms.
