As a Professional Fiduciary I will follow your documented wishes as I provide expert and timely support. I can work to support your representative or be your representative. I will work expeditiously to ensure your affairs are handled professionally and compassionately. I have completed extensive Fiduciary Management training with emphasis on being a Trustee or Conservator.
FIDUCIARY & TRUSTEE SERVICES
A fiduciary is someone who manages the financial and/or personal affairs of someone who is unable to care for themselves. Most of us have a spouse, adult child, sibling, or other family member who is able and willing to act as our agent. However, more and more frequently there are no family members, or they are unable or unwilling to take on the role. Some individuals do not want to burden their family with the responsibility of managing their personal affairs or simply a suitable backup to a family member is desired. A Professional Fiduciary may be the solution.
A trustee administers a trust and uses the assets for the benefit of the trustor or beneficiaries. A power of attorney may manage your finances during times of incapacity, regardless of whether they are in a trust or not.
As a professional fiduciary, I may come into the picture when due to age, disease, mental illness or accident, a person is unable to make informed decisions about their own affairs. It is a stressful time for all involved and my goal is your complete peace of mind.
