Orange County Trust Administration Lawyer

Trust Administration Attorney in Orange County

If a person has a living Trust, after they pass away the Trustee of the Trust has substantial responsibilities under the California Probate Code. Under California law, a Trustee has a fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries to ensure that the Trust is properly administered. A fiduciary duty is the highest duty recognized under the law.

We assist our Trustee clients to ensure that they abide by all of the Trust laws and properly administer the Trust assets. Trust administration can be a daunting task, and no Trustee should attempt to take on this responsibility without competent legal counsel.  Many people do not realize that a Trustee is wholly responsible for the proper management and investment of Trust assets and can be held personally financially liable if things go awry.

We have a great deal of experience in Trust Administration matters, and we are able to counsel our clients so they competently carry out all of their responsibilities and avoid the pitfalls of personal liability. We routinely handle the trust administration process from beginning to end and can assist our client to make the process move as efficiently and smoothly as possible. 

Moreover, should trouble arise, we have an experienced Trust litigation staff which will employ all means necessary to vigorously defend the rights of our Trustee clients.
