There are many different types of trusts, but the person who is ultimately in charge of the trust is generally called the Trustee.  The Trustee has many fiduciary duties that are inherent in the administration of any type of trust.  First and foremost, the Trustee must put the interests of the beneficiaries of the trust above all other considerations, except as they relate to his or her duties under the law. James D. Huls and Associates help guide you through this difficult time and stand by your side if or when needed.
