Trust & Trustee Services

A trust is a legal arrangement whereby a third party (trustee) holds assets or title to property on behalf of a beneficiary or beneficiaries. Trusts are often created for the ease of distributing property to heirs, creditor protection, charitable giving, to avoid probate or to assure the financial affairs are administered in accordance with their wishes when they are no longer capable of doing so.

Our clients work with many professionals when establishing a trust including estate planning attorneys and financial planners. Consultation with Felsing LLC allows our clients to clearly define their intent and the tax ramifications to their beneficiaries. Carol Felsing is often appointed by the courts to serve as a trustee when either the current trustee has been removed or is unable to serve. Our firm will also prepare trust accountings suitable for distribution to the beneficiary or submission to the courts.
