Adminstration
The administrative role is central to carrying out the wishes of the grantor regarding the use of assets in the trust. The trustee carries out the directions and follows the guidelines in the trust agreement in handling the specific circumstances of each request for funds from trust beneficiaries. This involves legal interpretation of the language in the document and appropriate input from family members and professional advisors. Experienced and unbiased trust administration is a vital component to implementing the plan of the grantor.
