What Is Trust Administration in Montana?
Trust administration in Montana involves the management of trust property by the trustee according to the terms of the trust, benefiting the designated beneficiaries after the settlor's passing. If all assets are properly designated or owned within the trust, formal court action is usually unnecessary. However, several crucial steps must be taken to safeguard the trustee and effectively administer the trust estate.
The process starts with a mandatory notice to all qualified beneficiaries, allowing them an opportunity to challenge the trust's validity. The successor trustee then conducts an appraisal and inventory of trust assets. Subsequently, the successor trustee pays creditors, files tax returns, provides accounting to interested parties, and distributes trust assets to beneficiaries based on the trust's provisions.
