A Will is Not The Only Way
While a will can be an important estate-planning tool, its power only takes effect upon death. A trust, on the other hand, allows your back-up trustee to carry out your wishes in the event of your death and incapacity, including illness. This way, if you’re ever unable to manage your own finances, a court doesn’t need to get involved to appoint someone to manage your financial affairs.
Corporate Trustee Services:
Your Peace of Mind is Always on Our Mind
While many trust companies are raising minimum account requirements, Members Trust Company administers modestly funded trusts, too. More importantly, with Members Trust Company, you can relieve your family of the burden of dealing with complex details and rest assured that the wishes you outlined in your trust will be fulfilled by a dedicated team whose sole mission is to help you protect your hard-earned assets, achieve your financial aspirations and to ensure your financial legacy thrives.
Applicable fees vary by credit union partner. Request a fee schedule from your credit union.
Please keep in mind that our fees do not apply unless you pass away or become incapacitated because it is not until that time that we step into your shoes and administer your trust for your benefit or that of your loved ones
