Our Trust Services

Trust Administration and Oversight

A Neutral Voice in Complex Circumstances

Our trust administration and oversight services serve two complimentary goals. First, to understand and follow the intent of the trust and estate plan in order to carry out the testamentary wishes of the individual or couple who created the trust. Second, to understand the life circumstances and needs of the beneficiaries the trust is intended to serve.

Because we don’t offer investment products or wealth management services, our trust professionals are solely focused on trust administration and service and thus never encounter a conflict between the interests of wealth management and trust services divisions.

A trusted partner

We partner and collaborate with our clients’ estate planner, investment advisor, accountant, and other advisors. We endeavor to be a part of the team a family may already have in place. This collaboration lets us remain neutral as a trustee. At the same time, we are responsible for holding all trust assets and we oversee the performance of investment managers to ensure they adhere to agreed-upon investment guidelines and report against appropriate benchmarks.

Expertise with complex trusts and assets

We often administer complex trusts with a diverse range of holdings. These include assets such as:

Stocks, bonds, marketable securities and cash
Real estate, including multi-family, commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential properties
Private businesses including operating companies, LLC interests and partnerships
Unique collections including art collections, jewlery and antique automobiles
Water, mineral, oil and gas rights
Intellectual property holdings including music and other royalty interests

Personalized service and attention to detail

Our clients expect extraordinary levels of personalized service and we do our best to meet those expectations. We are not a “9 to 5” enterprise and do not have an 800 number. Our trust officers take pride in being responsive and focus on each clients’ unique circumstances.
