Trust Services

Our Trust Department provides professional asset management and security for families. We are a full-service Trust Department. Our promise is to take care of your needs for you and your loved ones; whether it is with an Agency account, Trust account, or an Estate account. There are several kinds of trusts, all serving different and specific purposes. All trusts have one thing in common; they are a means of ensuring that your property will be handled, and ultimately passed on, in the way you so desire.

Our first step will be to discuss your financial situation and determine what your current needs are. Next, we’ll provide suggestions to fulfill those needs in either a trust or an agency account that will be beneficial to you and your family. We can show you that establishing a trust does not have to be expensive. In fact, it can be a very inexpensive way to provide you and your family with professional security and administration of your assets.

Once you have made a final decision on the type of trust or agency account that will best serve your needs, we will guide you through all the steps necessary to put your financial plan in action.

Why Trust?

Some of the major reasons to establish a trust are:

  1. To avoid probate
  2. To provide professional administration if you are disabled, or become disabled
  3. To provide minors with professional administration
  4. To provide a means to pass assets to family members as you wish, when you wish
  5. To ensure professional administration of your investments
