Trust Administration

A trust agreement sets forth your right to control your assets for as long as you are able. It names the person that you want to control your assets should you become incapacitated or deceased. This person is known as the successor trustee.

A properly structured revocable living trust can provide for the surviving spouse while protecting the interests of any children. This may be especially important if the children are from a prior marriage.  It also avoids probate and a conservatorship of your assets and can minimize estate taxes. It should work in concert with all of your estate planning documents to minimize capital gains tax and other income taxes paid by the surviving spouse, children, or other beneficiaries.

An attorney plays an important role in trust administration.  The attorney helps the successor trustee carry out your wishes while protecting your successor trustee from personal liability.  Our attorneys also use their expertise to help your family activate the trust and then protect it by ensuring that all necessary procedures and laws are followed.  Put your family under the capable care of the attorneys at the law firm of Samuel A.
