Trust and Estate Services

A trust exists where property is held by a person, or is transferred to another person to be held, for the benefit of themselves or one or more other persons. It can be set up during one’s life or as a consequence of death in their Will.  Trusts include three parties: a settlor who creates the trust, a beneficiary for whom the trust is set up, and a trustee who manages the trust in accordance with the terms of the trust. Professionals within BMOB M O Private Wealth can help with your trust and estate planning, act as trustee, or help as an agent for those who have been appointed trustee.

There are many benefits to setting up a trust, including asset protection, providing for beneficiaries, estate planning, and privacy.  A properly settled trust will provide the trustees with authority and instructions to manage and distribute assets according to your wishes. This can help minimize taxes, help with probate planning, and ensure a smooth transition of wealth to your beneficiaries.  Consult with our trust experts to understand how a trust can help you meet your goals and objectives.
