Trust Administration
How good Sacramento Estate Planning Attorneys Handle a Trust Administration
Sacramento residents who become a surviving trustor or successor trustee of a trust-based estate plan generally will greatly benefit from hiring a qualified attorney to help them with the administration of that trust agreement. An experienced attorney will help the trustor or trustee:
- Understand and properly file the appropriate tax forms
- Avoid incurring personal liability while performing their duties
- Defend the trust against challenges by heirs and beneficiaries who feel they were not properly compensated by the decedent.
- Draft and send proper notice to the heirs and beneficiaries of the trust in a manner that limits their time to challenge the trust agreement.
- Understand the terms of the trust and, if necessary, petition the court to resolve
- any points of confusion or negotiate a solution with the heirs of the estate.
- Confirm that all of the liabilities of the estate, including taxes, have been paid in full prior to distributing the assets of the trust.
