Special needs call for special solutions. Many personal financial objectives extend well beyond those that investment services cover. A trust can be a special tool that lets us help you with goals such as:

A trust is a custom legal arrangement you create so we - as trustee - can hold and manage the property you place in the trust. We care for the property strictly for your benefit and/or the benefit of another person or persons you choose - the beneficiaries. And we follow your guidelines on how to manage the property.
You can have your trust take effect during your lifetime - a living trust - or under a provision in your Will - a testamentary trust. A living trust can continue after your death if that is your choice when you establish your trust. This can allow uninterrupted assets management and financial protection for your family. Such a trust need not mean losing control over your assets, because you can set it up with the option to amend or end it at any time.

Our duties as trustee include:
