Los Angeles Trust Administration Lawyer
We Can Help You Fulfill Your Fiduciary Duty
When you’ve been designated a trustee for someone’s revocable or irrevocable living trust, you have been given a serious legal responsibility. Similar to being an executor of a will, you will be in charge of administering assets and handling any disputes that arise after the document’s creator (or trustor) passes away. Unlike a will, however, you will most likely be administering trust assets while the trustor is still alive too – and there are many moving pieces to consider in the California trust administration process.
Even if the trust appears simple, you should consider the services of an experienced Los Angeles trust administration attorney, to ensure that you are fulfilling your role to the letter of the law. At the Law Office of Mitchell A. Port, we can help you avoid costly mistakes, as well as serve as your representation in the face of any trust litigation or disputes. It’s our goal to give you sound advice and help you navigate this important responsibility, so that you can protect the trustor’s legacy.

What Does a Trust Administrator Do?
As a trust administrator, there are many tasks you will need to perform once the trustor has signed their paperwork, and you will also have additional duties once the trustor becomes deceased. From investing assets to distributing out properties, you will need to have a clear understanding of the trustor’s wishes in order to perform your job.
How to Administer a Trust in California
Here are some of the tasks you may need to complete as a trustee:
- Making decisions about conservatorship for incapacitated trustors
- Determining proper care for elderly beneficiaries
- Keeping clear records of your decisions and investments
- Paying taxes and creditors on behalf of the deceased
- Managing funds and stock portfolios that are kept in trust
