Trust Administration and Trustee Services
Trust administration is vital for individuals looking to safeguard their wealth and ensure a smooth transition to future generations. Our team at Stone Bybee & Associates provides trust administration services tailored to meet the specific needs of our Summerlin clients and those across the nation.
Why Trust Administration Matters
Administering a trust involves more than managing assets—it requires careful attention to both Nevada and federal regulations. It also demands a focus on upholding the wishes of the trust creator (settlor) while acting in the best interests of the beneficiaries. At Stone Bybee & Associates, we take a hands-on approach, guiding trustees through the legal and practical challenges of trust management to ensure everything is handled in accordance with your plan and the law.
Types of Trusts We Handle
Every trust serves a different purpose, and we assist with a wide variety of trusts to address diverse estate planning goals. If you are seeking flexibility, a revocable living trust allows you to modify the terms as your circumstances change while keeping your assets outside of probate.
For those focused on reducing taxes or providing long-term security, an irrevocable trust offers potential tax savings while ensuring assets remain protected.
We also help manage special needs trusts, which allow you to provide for a disabled loved one without risking their eligibility for government benefits. Our attention to detail helps ensure that the trust is administered properly, safeguarding your family member from potential financial exploitation.
At Stone Bybee & Associates, we are dedicated to ensuring that the right type of trust is chosen to meet your family’s needs, securing their future long after you’re gone.
Estate Administration and Probate
The probate process can be overwhelming, particularly for estates with substantial assets or complex holdings. Our estate administration services are designed to simplify the probate process, ensuring that your loved one’s estate is handled efficiently and with care. We assist families in Summerlin and beyond through each stage of estate administration, making the process as seamless as possible.
Understanding Probate in Nevada
Probate is the legal process of validating a will, identifying and managing the decedent’s assets, paying any debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the rightful heirs. Nevada probate law presents unique challenges for high-net-worth estates, especially when dealing with various asset types, tax obligations, and legal requirements. Our team helps guide you through these complexities, ensuring that all legal obligations are met and your loved one’s estate is managed in a timely and respectful manner.
Our Probate Process
From filing the will with the probate court to the final distribution of assets, we provide comprehensive assistance every step of the way. Our services include creating a detailed inventory of assets such as real estate, financial accounts, investments, and personal belongings.
We manage creditor claims, ensuring that debts and taxes are settled promptly to protect the estate from future disputes. After the estate’s financial obligations are fulfilled, we oversee the transfer of assets to the designated beneficiaries according to the will or trust.
Avoiding Probate: Strategic Planning
Many families prefer to avoid the probate process, as it can be time-consuming, expensive, and may expose private matters to public scrutiny. To help you avoid probate, we offer estate planning solutions that include the creation of living trusts and other legal tools.
Placing your assets in a trust allows for a private, streamlined transfer of wealth to your beneficiaries, saving time and reducing costs. This approach also minimizes the stress your loved ones may experience during an already difficult period.
