Los Angeles Trust Administration Lawyer

Experienced, Skilled Trust Administration Attorneys in Los Angeles, CA

Trust administration involves special knowledge of not only the California Probate Code but also the tools to properly and professionally administer a trust. Notices must be sent out upon the death of a Trustor if all or a portion of the trust becomes irrevocable. The Trust assets must be inventoried and often appraised. Real estate will need to be retitled in the name of the current trustee. Taxpayer identification numbers may need to be established and tax returns filed. Accounting generally will need to be provided to current and, in some cases, remainder beneficiaries. This serious responsibility placed on a trustee often requires the dedication of an attorney experienced in these matters, especially where issues and disputes may later arise.

At Hinojosa & Forer LLP, our attorneys practice in this area daily. From inventorying the assets of a trust to distributing those assets, and each issue in between, our attorneys are ready.
