Choosing the Right Trustee
Choosing a trustee is about more than trust. You need experience, objectivity, and reliability. Our team delivers all of that with professionalism and personal care.
Why Clients Trust Us to Serve as Trustee
A trustee’s role is more than just administrative. It requires sound judgment, professional expertise, and an unwavering commitment to your wishes. Here’s what sets us apart.
Deep Experience
Our team includes highly trained professionals with years of trust and estate administration experience, ensuring your plan is handled with care and precision.
Impartial Guidance
We approach every situation with fairness, helping navigate complex family dynamics while honoring your wishes.
Reliable Availability
Unlike individual trustees, we are always accessible and ready to act—so there are no delays due to personal obligations or life events.
Built-in Accountability
Our actions are subject to regular oversight by independent auditors and examiners, providing an added layer of transparency and trust.
Personalized Service
We give you direct access to your trustee, offering responsive, one-on-one support instead of automated systems.
Flexible Ways We Can Serve Your Trust
Service as a Co-Trustee
If you would like to name a trusted individual as your trustee but believe they could benefit from professional support, we can serve alongside them as co-trustee. We’ll work together to administer your trust exactly as outlined in your trust agreement.
Service as a Successor Trustee
If your trust is intended to provide long-term support for loved ones, naming us as your successor trustee ensures continuity. We’ll be ready to step in if your original trustee can no longer serve—offering reliable, experienced guidance when it’s needed most.
Service as an Agent for Your Trustee
If your named trustee needs assistance with the administrative or investment-related responsibilities of the role, we can act as their agent. With their permission, we’ll handle the tasks they delegate—offering valuable support without replacing their authority.
