WHAT ARE TRUST SERVICES?
A trust is an arrangement by which one party holds property on behalf of another party for certain defined purposes.
The donor, or settlor, is the person who creates a trust.
The beneficiary is the person for whose benefit the property is held.
Corpus, or res, refers to the property that is held.

ESTATE PLANNING
Estate planning is the process by which an individual or family arranges the transfer of assets in anticipation of death.
An estate is the total property, real and personal, that an individual owns.
The cornerstone of any estate plan is a will, a document by which the individual gives instructions as to what is to happen upon his or her death in regard to property and remains.
Probate is a court proceeding that settles an estate’s final debts and formally passes legal title to property from the decedent to his or her heirs.
