Trust Administration

How can trusts help protect your heirs?

February 11, 2020 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Trusts can help protect your heirs in many ways. One big benefit is that your heirs or beneficiaries will not have to wait months and months for an inheritance. The probate process is a very time consuming process that can take around a year, or sometimes much longer if any problems arise during probate.

The ability to avoid probate is one of the key benefits … [Read more...] about Do assets in a living trust pass through probate?

What are the basics of trust administration?

February 11, 2020 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

The trust administration process takes place when a trust creator made a trust, transferred assets into it, and passed away. While assets are typically transferred through a formal probate process, assets held within a trust do not have to go through probate. Instead, a trust administrator who was chosen by the trust creator will be in charge of administering the trust. The basics of trust administration involve providing notice to interested parties, complying with tax obligations, taking care … [Read more...] about What are the basics of trust administration?
