Trust Administration

When an individual wishes to give property, cash or other assets to a loved one they can form a trust. This trust will be controlled by a trustee, and their job is to maintain the integrity of the trust. A trustee cannot benefit from the trust in any way and must act in the best interests of the beneficiaries. Trust administration consists of many steps including: determining a proper trustee, spelling out the wishes of the grantor and notifying the beneficiary of the creation of the trust. A Fremont estate planning attorney can help you with all aspects of trust administration.
