Overview:
When someone passes and leaves behind a trust, the trustee becomes responsible for managing and distributing assets according to the trust's terms — while meeting a range of legal and tax obligations. It's a role that carries real liability if handled incorrectly.

Barrister guides trustees through every stage of the administration process, ensuring nothing is missed and no obligation goes unmet. Whether you're a family member stepping into the role for the first time or a professional fiduciary managing multiple trusts, we provide the legal support you need.

Our trust administration services include:

• Trustee duty counseling and compliance

• Asset inventory and valuation

• Creditor notification and debt resolution

• Trust accountings and beneficiary reporting

• Tax return preparation coordination

• Final distribution and trust termination

We work efficiently to keep the process moving — because delays in administration create friction for everyone involved.
