What Our Clients Say About Us

What is a Trustee?

Types of Trustees

Our services include a variety of trustee roles.

A sole trustee is a single trustee that makes decisions and is empowered to act on those decisions.
A co-trustee serves in tandem with another trustee. Both usually share the authority and responsibility for decisions and actions.
A successor trustee is usually named in a trust document to serve after the grantor or current trustee becomes incapacitated or dies. The successor trustee will replace a previous trustee.

In a directed trust, an administrative or directed trustee is appointed to fulfill duties limited and specified by the grantors in the trust document. Directed trusts will also appoint an outside investment advisor that is responsible for the trust’s investment management. Because ITC does not offer any investment products or management services, we are a popular choice as a directed trustee.

Trust Services For Financial Advisors

If you are an independent financial advisor you may be surprised to learn how many of your client’s families are involved with a trust. Advisors that include trust services in their business plans preserve relationships across generations. Teaming with ITC, your firm can offer clients a full suite of estate planning and trust management services.
