Trustee and Fiduciary Services: While many attorneys shy away from taking on this additional responsibility, Rollin J. Soskin & Associates, Ltd. offers trustee and fiduciary services. When it comes time to carry out and administer estate planning arrangements, the weight falls on to the shoulders of the fiduciary - the trustee, executor or attorney-in-fact. Our attorneys assist and guide fiduciaries as they perform their duties and fulfill their obligations. In many circumstances, our attorneys also serve as trustees, executors and attorneys-in-fact. Selection of a trustee is a very important matter. You are choosing who you feel could best "step into your shoes" to do the things you would have wanted to do and make the decisions you would have made if you had been available to act yourself. Our attorneys act or are named as trustees or successor trustees in hundreds of revocable, irrevocable and charitable trusts and foundations. Our services as trustee include holding and overseeing the management of trust assets and reporting regularly to the beneficiaries about the performance of the funds in our care. Many of our clients name one of our attorneys as a fiduciary or as a trustee when they are undertaking the estate planning process because they recognize our thoroughness and attention to client needs during the implementation of their estate plan documents and feel confident that we understand their desires and their goals for those they leave behind. We can help you create a Lifetime Security Blanket™, protecting the assets you leave for others from their creditors while allowing the trustees the flexibility to pay for such things as a child's wedding, grandchild's education, or help a child in business.
