CERTAIN PROFESSIONALS CAN HELP ADMINISTER TRUSTS

Law Office of Mary Alice Gwynn, PA March 12, 2019

Creating an estate plan can help Florida residents in countless ways. For some, using trusts can allow them to control their assets in the manner they consider most fitting. Of course, using this tool means that someone will need to be in charge of its administration when the time comes.

Some people may consider hiring professionals to handle their trusts' affairs after their passing, and that certainly is an option. Trust companies can often help those with considerable assets manage their property and administer trusts when needed. They can also act as unbiased parties in the event that family conflict arises over certain property during the settling of the remaining estate. Because these companies are unbiased, they may have a greater ability to work toward the fairest outcomes.

Additionally, utilizing professional trust-related help could work toward saving individuals time and effort. These professionals can work to coordinate plans with any other financial professionals used to manage assets and create estate plans. As a result, parties may want to consider exploring the option of trust companies when choosing to use trusts for their end-of-life plans.

Of course, Florida residents interested in using trusts could also appoint family members or close friends to act as trustees and to handle administration. The decisions made in this type of scenario depend on each person's preferences. However, when it comes to creating estate plans and using the tools involved, working with knowledgeable attorneys can help guide interested parties through the planning process and offer advice on when to use other professional help.
