Trust Administration, New York

What is a Trust?

A trust, like a will, outlines how your estate assets (such as bank accounts and property) will be distributed after you pass away. One common type is a living trust, which lets you transfer assets into the trust while you’re still alive. Unlike a will, a trust can help your family bypass the probate process, making it a preferred choice for many individuals.

What is Trust Administration?

Trust administration refers to the process that begins after the trust’s creator passes away. This involves carrying out the trust’s terms as intended by the creator. The person in charge of taking care of the trust and trust assets is known as the fiduciary. The trust administration process can be complex and stressful, even with the most comprehensive estate planning documents.
