Need to Administer a Trust?

While a living trust can help parties to avoid probate and its statutory rigors and attorney fees, there is still work to be done in administering a trust after the deceased settlor’s death.

Guiding Successor Trustees through Complex Situations
There are a lot of questions that come up when a loved one passes. It is a simple reality that even in close families, administering a trust can create discord among family members. One family member is often put in charge as the successor trustee, which can leave other beneficiaries feeling disenfranchised and left in the dark.
Throughout the process, we assist the successor trustee in dealing with real property, financial accounts and other assets, setting up a trust account with a separate tax ID number, providing an accounting, and distributing the funds. Our trust lawyers in Pasadena can answer questions of family members and beneficiaries and provide for an open, inclusive process.
