Personal trust services
Preserve your vision without the administrative challenges
You've worked hard to accumulate your wealth, and you want to make sure those assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes. Whether you already have a trust or are considering one, it's important to select the right trustee to oversee it. Since a trust can last for many years, your trustee needs to have the expertise, time, dedication, and commitment to carry out the long-term obligations of the role. Vanguard National Trust Company (VNTC) has the fiduciary experience to serve as a professional trustee on your behalf. VNTC will support you by:
- Providing objective expertise in trust administration, including in-depth understanding of the applicable laws, taxes, accounting requirements, and fiduciary responsibilities.
- Ensuring investment decisions are prudent and support the trust's objectives.
- Maintaining a stable, continuous relationship with your beneficiaries that won't be affected by age, illness, or personal issues.
