There are three parties involved in every trust:
A trust is a fiduciary relationship in which a trustor (also referred to as a settlor or grantor) selects a trustee to handle estate and asset distribution to beneficiaries upon the trustor’s death. A trust is often included in estate planning, particularly in instances where significant assets are involved or special circumstances apply.
Trust administration means the administration of the trust by the trustee. The trustee has a fiduciary duty to administer the trust according to its terms, to protect the best interests of the beneficiaries at all times, and to administer the trust in a timely manner. It is important not to rush through the process because the trustee may miss important steps and make himself or herself personally liable for maladministration.
The duties may include additional services such as obtaining appraisals, gathering tax documentation, accounting, dealing with creditor claims, defending the trust in court, and more.
