trust administration is a little bit
00:07
different than
00:08
a probate administration because uh one
00:11
we don’t have the court involved
00:12
typically when we’re dealing with a
00:14
trust administration so we still need to
00:17
notice creditors and
00:19
uh make amends with them if possible
00:22
but if there aren’t creditors it can be
00:24
a lot simpler
00:26
so sometimes we have families that come
00:29
in and they let us know
00:31
this person in our lives has passed away
00:34
where do we start and so we’ll sit down
00:36
with them as attorneys and usually
00:38
there’s some initial documents we need
00:40
to draft a certificate of trust an
00:42
affidavit of death of a trustee or joint
00:46
tenant or whatever it might be
00:48
and then we just point the the trustee
00:53
or the executor or the beneficiary
00:55
depending on what the circumstance is we
00:57
point them in the right direction and
00:59
they can handle a lot of things on their
01:01
own sometimes we have those people come
01:04
in and and they don’t want to be
01:05
hands-on so we’ll perform specific tasks
01:08
for them
01:09
but a trust administration is a much
01:11
quicker
01:12
painless process
01:14
for the most part than when we’re
01:16
dealing with a normal probate
01:18
administration
