TRUST & ESTATE SERVICES

Serving as Trustee, Co-Trustee, or Personal Representative.

The primary duty of a trustee is to faithfully carry out your wishes as defined in your trust agreement. This involves investing the assets, making payments and distributions, interpreting the terms of the trust, keeping accurate records and providing regular accounting statements to the trust beneficiaries.

The complexity of these tasks is the reason many people choose Central Trust Company to serve as their trustee. Others choose to name themselves or family members as co-trustees with Central Trust, or name us as successor trustee. Our goal is to carry out your wishes and provide for your beneficiaries.

Below are some of the services Central Trust Company provides.
