Trust Administration

​

Trust Administration is the process of collecting and distributing the assets which are titled to a trust after the last of the creator or "Grantor's" have passed away. The collection and distribution are handled by the "Successor Trustee", a similar position to an Executor or Personal Representative of a Probate Estate. This process can be very quick and private. 


Probate

Probate is a court-monitored legal process in which assets are transferred from the name of the decedent to the rightful, heir, or beneficiary.
