Trust Administration

Administration of a trust is a complex and stressful duty placed upon the shoulders of a trustee. When a person passes away and has left a Will, the Will states the person who will become the trustee. The trustee must then follow precisely the terms as set by the trust or Will to administrate after the death of their loved one. As the trust administration process begins, the trustee will be closely monitored to ensure that he or she is following the laws and meeting all obligations set forth in the terms of the trust. A trustee is also expected to exercise a high standard of care when administering the trust. The powers given to a trustee are great, and failure to comply with the framework of the trust can result in litigation.

For trust litigation or Will contest, you will need an experienced attorney.
