Santa Monica Trust Administration Attorneys
Trusts can fulfill many legal and financial objectives, including eliminating or minimizing estate taxes, avoiding probate, setting aside assets for designated beneficiaries, providing for a disabled family member and asset protection.
Once a trust grantor dies, there are ongoing administrative tasks that must be handled by the trustee. These include:
- Providing all legally required notices
- Allocation assets to subtrusts
- Investing trust assets
- Preparing tax returns
- Notifying beneficiaries of important developments
- Distributing assets to beneficiaries

Trust Litigation
If you are engaged in a trust dispute or will contest, we can provide you with the strong representation you need. Trust disputes often arise between beneficiaries and trustees when beneficiaries suspect the trustee of improper management of the trust, trust fraud and other misconduct. Trust litigation can also involve disputes over the validity of the trust.
At our law firm, we prepare trusts and other documents with care and attention to detail, to help our clients avoid future trust disputes. When disputes arise, however, our attorneys are prepared to resolve them through negotiation or litigation.
