Trust Administration

Trust administration is the process of managing and distributing a deceased person’s trust assets according to the terms outlined in their trust. Unlike probate, trust administration generally avoids court involvement, making it a more private and efficient way to handle an estate. However, the process can still be complex and requires careful attention to detail to ensure all legal requirements are met and the wishes of the trust creator are honored.
