What is

Trust Administration?

Trust administration is the process of managing and distributing assets according to the terms of a trust after the trustor (creator) has passed away. Unlike probate, trusts generally allow for a more private and streamlined transfer of assets, but trustees still have important legal obligations to uphold. Our firm helps trustees and beneficiaries understand their rights and responsibilities while ensuring full compliance with California trust laws.
