Why choose an independent trustee?
Many clients choose family members or friends to serve as trustees for family trusts. While this is beneficial from many perspectives, choosing a corporate trustee provides long-term continuity, support and knowledge that ensures trusts are invested and managed according to the specific requirements set forth in each trust.
