The Trust Administration Process
Attorney Shapiro can begin by inventorying all of the assets and property included in the trust. The title/ownership of each asset will need to be determined, including the monetary value of each asset. It is crucial that proper valuation occurs so the items are handled correctly.
The following are examples of items that may be included in a trust:
- Real estate
- Vehicles
- Stock portfolios
- Investments
- Valuable art collections
- Jewelry or family heirlooms
It is important that the trust administrator get the accurate value of each of these items before anything is distributed to heirs or beneficiaries. We can work with you to determine which assets are included in the trust and which assets are simply part of the estate.
Our firm's lawyer can help you ensure proper accounting of all assets involved. He can also make sure that that beneficiaries are notified in a timely manner. Once valuation is complete and other details squared away, our lawyer can begin to distribute property and assets to the correct beneficiaries.
