Trust Administration

Erker Law Firm provides trust administration legal services throughout Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri. Trusts are one of the most valuable tools people have in passing down assets and their estate to family members and heirs while shielding those assets from the necessity of probate. Trusts may also be beneficial in reducing taxes and protecting the hard work put into building wealth. Yet, after death, the administration of the trust is just as critical. Often a family member will establish a Living Trust to protect their assets, but the successor trustee may not have any idea what is required of them to comply with the terms of the trust. I encourage you to allow me to help you comply with all of the trust terms to protect you as Trustee and ensure that the Trust accomplishes its goals without risk to you as Trustee in administration.

Erker Law Firm works closely with people building trusts, establishing trust administration for after their death, and family members that need guidance and support after the death of a loved one who had a trust.

Why Turn to a Trust Administration Attorney?

I work with many family members who need guidance and assistance when they suddenly find themselves in the position of successor Trustee after the death of a loved one. While the established Trust was a thoughtful avenue to protect assets from a potentially lengthy probate process, trust administration has its own timing, rules, requirements and deadlines. I can help you meet all the requirements to properly administer your trust and avoid personal liability for failure to carry out your fiduciary responsibilities as successor trustee. I also have the skills necessary to litigate trust challenges if needed.
