What Is Trust Administration?
Trust administration is the legal process of managing and distributing a deceased person's assets held in a trust. This process involves several critical steps, including:
Notifying Beneficiaries and Heirs: Informing all relevant parties about the trust and their interests.
Inventorying and Valuing Assets: Compiling a comprehensive list of the trust's assets and determining their value.
Paying Debts: Settling any outstanding obligations of the trust.
Distributing Assets: Allocating the remaining assets to beneficiaries as outlined in the trust document.
Proper trust administration is essential to ensure legal compliance and to prevent disputes among beneficiaries.
Your Role as a Trustee
Serving as a trustee carries significant responsibilities and fiduciary duties. You are expected to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, manage the trust assets prudently, and adhere strictly to the terms of the trust.
