Roseville, CA estate planning & probate attorney Kristin M. Kaminski talks about trust administration. She notes that trust administration is the process that takes place after the trustor, or trust maker, passes away. Upon the trustor’s death, the successor trustee assumes responsibility for managing the trust’s assets. This process involves administering the trust in accordance with its terms, facilitating the transfer of assets to the beneficiaries, or allocating them to sub-trusts as specified in the trust document. Throughout trust administration, the trustee must adhere to the applicable laws and the specific provisions of the trust, ensuring that all actions are carried out properly and in accordance with the trustor’s intentions.
