When a trust is created, it often needs to be administered after the death or incapacity of the person who created it (the grantor). Trust administration is the process of carrying out the instructions in the trust, which may include managing assets, paying debts, and distributing property to beneficiaries.

At Stalnaker Law, we assist trustees, beneficiaries, and families with every aspect of trust administration — from interpreting trust terms to handling real estate, taxes, and required filings. With over 50 years of estate experience, we provide the legal guidance and practical support needed to ensure the process is smooth, compliant, and respectful of the grantor’s wishes.

We help trustees:

• Understand their legal duties and responsibilities
  
• Notify beneficiaries and handle required disclosures
  
• Collect, manage, and distribute trust assets
  
• Navigate Georgia trust laws and tax issues
  
• Avoid personal liability by administering the trust properly

Whether you’re a first-time trustee or a beneficiary with questions, we’re here to guide you through the process with clarity and confidence. Call my Augusta office at 706-420-5169 or contact me online.
