What is Trust Administration?

Trust administration is the process of managing and distributing the assets held in a trust according to the instructions set out by the trust’s creator (the settlor). It involves numerous responsibilities, including asset management, tax filing, debt resolution, and ensuring the proper distribution of assets to beneficiaries. While the process may seem straightforward, it can be quite complex, especially when dealing with large estates or contested trusts. Our attorneys are here to simplify the process, ensuring that the trust is administered according to the settlor’s wishes and Nevada law.
