Trust and Estate Services

Traditionally, people think of trustees as managing assets after death for heirs. They often name a corporate trustee when they don’t have a trusted family member, and we have a lot of experience helping families in this way. However, people often overlook the role of a trustee during their lifetimes, when they are no longer able to manage their own affairs. A trustee can step into your shoes and manage all of your financial affairs on your behalf. This includes such things as managing assets, paying bills, and collaborating with family and caregivers on important personal and financial decisions.

Having been your financial partner through life’s stages, we are uniquely suited to oversee your affairs and safeguard your legacy.
