Trust administration

Establishing a trust can be an optimal way to preserve wealth and avoid subjecting assets to the jurisdiction of the probate court after death. Hilton & Bishop attorneys work with clients to establish and administer different kinds of trusts depending on the needs and circumstances of the client, including revocable trusts (also called living trusts), irrevocable, life insurance, special needs, charitable, and dynasty trusts.

Hilton & Bishop attorneys help individual and corporate trustees with funding issues during lifetime as well as with administering and terminating trusts after the death of the trust settlor or grantor.  Hilton & Bishop attorneys are knowledgeable about and advise clients on reducing the impact of income tax on estates and trusts.
