Your Trustee's Role

The trustee's role is to manage and distribute the assets in the trust according to your wishes, as expressed in the trust document.

 
 

There are three primary elements to the trustee's role:

  1. Custody
    The custodial role is that of a financial secretary and security guard. The trustee must identify and then take title to the trust's assets, keep accurate records, report to the current beneficiaries, execute and settle all transactions, protect and insure the property and defend the trust against claimants.
     
  2. Asset Management
    The trustee is ultimately responsible for the preservation and investment of assets in the trust, ensuring that invested assets are productive and managed appropriately given the trust's objectives.
     
  3. Administration
    The administrative role is central to carrying out your wishes regarding the use of assets in the trust. The trustee carries out your directions and follows your guidelines in handling the specific circumstances of each request for funds from trust beneficiaries.
