As you plan for your own and your family’s financial future, you may be considering the creation of a trust. Many estate plans utilize what is called a revocable living trust. During your life, you generally serve as Trustee of your revocable living trust and can either retitle your assets in the name of the trust during your life or you can use a “pour-over will” to direct your Personal Representative or Executor to transfer any individually owned assets at your passing to your trust. After you pass, your trust becomes a separate entity that owns property managed by a trustee, who then administers the trust per your instructions for the benefit of the designated individuals or charities.

If you decide a trust is needed either during your lifetime or in your will, you will have to choose a trustee to administer it. You may be thinking your estate plan is not complex, so a family member or friend should be able to handle your affairs after you pass. Unfortunately, family members may not be able to devote the necessary attention or time to handle this undertaking. Even smart friends or business associates are unlikely to have the expertise required to serve as a capable trustee. Mistakes made in the administration of the trust may result in needless expense and cost you, your estate, and/or your beneficiary(ies) valuable assets.

Our trust representative office, Carson Group Partners Private Trust, provides corporate trust administration solutions for individuals whose financial, family or business needs require the services of a professional fiduciary.
