What Is Trust Administration?

Trust administration begins after the person who created the trust passes away. It is the process of carrying out the instructions in the trust to ensure assets are managed and distributed properly.

Unlike probate, trust administration happens outside of court. This allows for more privacy fewer delays and often lower costs. But it still requires careful attention to detail including notifying beneficiaries settling debts, managing investments and following the trust’s legal terms.

In short, it is the behind-the-scenes work that brings your loved one’s plan to life.
