Trust administration

Trust administration is the process of managing and distributing the assets in a trust according to the terms set by the person who created it (the grantor). This involves identifying and gathering trust assets, paying debts and taxes, and ensuring beneficiaries receive what they’re entitled to. Trust administration can be complex, requiring careful attention to legal and financial details, deadlines, and ongoing communication with all parties involved.

As the Law Office of Gladys C. La Torre, I focus on making this process as smooth as possible for you and your loved ones. My personalized approach ensures that every trust is administered efficiently while honoring the wishes of the grantor and protecting the interests of beneficiaries. I guide you through each step, keeping you informed and empowered to make decisions with confidence.

My trust administration services include:

  • Asset Identification & Collection: I help locate and value all assets held by the trust.

  • Debt & Tax Settlement: I ensure all outstanding debts, taxes, and expenses are paid from trust assets as required by law.

  • Beneficiary Guidance: I provide clear communication to beneficiaries, answering questions and addressing concerns throughout the process.

  • Distribution of Assets: I oversee and manage the fair and timely distribution of trust assets according to the trust document.

  • Legal Compliance: I handle all required filings and keep you up-to-date with California trust laws to avoid complications or disputes.

You don’t have to manage these responsibilities alone. Let me take care of the details so you can focus on what matters most during this important time.
