  • How long does the trust administration process take?

    The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the trust and the assets involved. Simple trusts can be administered in a few months, while more complex trusts may take a year or more. We work diligently to ensure the process moves as efficiently as possible.




  • Do I need a lawyer for trust administration?

    While it’s possible to handle trust administration on your own, having an experienced lawyer can prevent mistakes, ensure compliance with the law, and provide peace of mind. Our team takes care of the legal complexities, so you don’t have to.




  • Can a trust be contested?

    Yes, trusts can be contested, typically by a beneficiary or someone who feels they were wrongfully excluded. However, having a well-structured trust and professional administration reduces the likelihood of disputes.




  • What happens if there are outstanding debts or taxes?

    Before assets are distributed, any outstanding debts and taxes must be paid. We handle all these obligations, ensuring they are settled appropriately without delaying the distribution of assets.
