Our dedicated team is here to assist and ensure that the process is handled with precision and care.
Understanding Trust Administration
Trust administration involves the management of a trust based on its terms and conditions after the grantor's death or incapacitation. As a critical component of estate planning, it ensures the smooth transfer of assets to beneficiaries. At The Pacella Law Group, we specialize in both revocable and irrevocable trust administration, providing our clients with a comprehensive approach tailored to their unique needs.
The Role of a Trust Administrator
The trust administrator, also known as a trustee, plays a pivotal role in managing trust assets, maintaining accurate records, and distributing assets to beneficiaries in accordance with the trust document. At The Pacella Law Group, we emphasize the importance of selecting a competent trustee, whether it's a family member or a professional fiduciary.
Effectively Handling Trust Disputes
Disputes can arise regarding trust terms, beneficiary rights, and asset distribution. Our legal team is adept at facilitating negotiations and, if necessary, representing our clients in litigation to protect their interests. Proactive measures, such as clearly defined terms within the trust, can prevent many disputes from arising.
Trust vs. Will: Key Differences Explained
One fundamental distinction between a trust and a will is that a trust can go into effect during the grantor’s lifetime, thus avoiding probate and providing a continuous management of assets. A will, on the other hand, only takes effect after death and requires probate. Trusts can offer privacy and efficiency, making them a preferred choice for many of our Calabasas clients.
