A Trust is commonly created as part of one’s estate and the administrator (Trustee) oversees the distribution of the estate’s assets. Legal title is transferred to the Trustee but the beneficiaries are able to enjoy the benefits of assets placed in the trust as permitted by the trust document. Trust Administration is the process of managing the property of another person, whether that person is living or deceased. The trustee is responsible for managing assets placed in a trust, intended to protect a person’s property. The obligations of the trustee include keeping accurate records, seeking professional advice when applicable, paying necessary taxes, and making reports to beneficiaries of the trust.

Asset Protection is a planning strategy to protect one’s personal assets as permitted by law from potential creditors in the event of a lawsuit. However, asset protection is recommended as a precautionary method long before any litigation.
