Trust Administration, Oregon

What is a Trust?

A trust is an essential estate planning tool that allows you to outline how your assets are managed and distributed after your passing. Unlike a will, a revocable living trust enables you to transfer assets during your lifetime, offering greater control and privacy. Trusts are particularly effective for avoiding the probate process, which can be time-consuming and costly.

For individuals in Oregon, creating a revocable living trust provides a reliable way to protect assets, streamline estate management, and ensure your wishes are honored. At Fales Law Group, we work closely with clients to establish trusts that align with their unique needs and long-term goals.

What is Trust Administration?

Trust administration in Oregon refers to the process of managing and distributing the assets held in a trust after the trust’s creator (grantor) passes away. This process ensures the grantor’s instructions are carried out while adhering to Oregon’s legal requirements.

Trust administration involves several key responsibilities, including managing trust assets, communicating with beneficiaries, and addressing any legal or tax obligations. While a trust simplifies estate management, the administration process can still be challenging without proper guidance.

At Fales Law Group, we support Oregon families throughout the trust administration process, providing clear direction and personalized service to ensure everything is handled smoothly and effectively.

What Is the Difference Between a Revocable Living Trust and an Irrevocable Trust?

A revocable living trust allows the grantor to make changes or revoke the trust entirely during their lifetime, as long as they remain mentally competent. An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, is fixed and cannot be altered without court approval or the agreement of all beneficiaries. While less flexible, irrevocable trusts provide stronger protection against creditors and certain estate taxes, making them a powerful tool for safeguarding assets.
