trust administration
When a loved one dies and they have a trust, the process of trust administration will need to be undertaken. Many lawyers make trust administration appear simple at the time their client signs the trust document without fully explaining what will need to happen after their death.
This is dangerous because often the client never discusses trust administration with the designated Trustee. The person or people that will serve as Trustee need to understand what should happen at the time of death of the person creating the trust.
