40+ years of experience in Trustee Services on all Trusts including smaller trust management.
About Us
Attorney William J. Howard retired from the Estate Planning Firm he founded in 1989 to focus entirely on Trustee Services. His firm now accepts Trusts and will make discretionary distributions according to the terms of the Trust; keeps accurate records of all receipts and disbursements; can find and supervise appropriate Money Managers; and can find and supervise experienced Accountants to prepare and file all appropriate annual tax returns. If you don’t have a Trust, he can refer you to his former estate planning firm or work with your current attorney to establish a Trust appropriate for your family’s current and future needs. If you have a money manager, he can work with him or her to develop an investment portfolio to fit your unique needs. He accepts Trusts of all sizes including smaller Trusts that are not usually accepted by Bank Trust Departments or Companies, all for less than market rates.
