Case Study: Trust and Estate Administration

Trust and Estate Administration

Mr. Jones had a complicated estate plan consisting of multiple trusts. In addition, he had a disabled child who would benefit from a special needs trust. Mr. Jones asked JDJ to help administer the family trusts and assist with the creation and administration of the special needs trust.

For the family trusts, JDJ organized the trust documents, created abstracts, listed and scheduled various administrative tasks and created a separate accounting for each entity in order to track income, expenses and capital values.

For the special needs trust, JDJ collaborated with counsel in drafting the trust document and obtaining appropriate public assistance for the disabled child. We also assisted with the investment plan, providing data the investment advisor needed to construct a portfolio that would produce current income but preserve capital for the child’s anticipated life expectancy. Today, JDJ provides ongoing bookkeeping for the trust and works closely with the trustee, processing distributions and acting as the family’s liaison with various medical and personal care professionals.
