\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA common misconception with trusts is that once they are formed, nothing else needs to be done to protect and oversee the assets in them. While creating a trust protects assets and sets them up to be easily transferred, the assets must be looked after.\n\nTrustees play a vital administrative role throughout the life of the trust as they ensure the assets are in good condition and act as the fiduciary.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When a trust is created, an individual will be designated as the trustee. This role is extremely important, as it will be their duty to ensure the assets are appropriately taken care of.<\/p>

Specifically, a trustee\u2019s role while managing a trust includes making legal, financial, and other administrative decisions needed to protect the assets in the trust. For instance, say one of the assets in the trust is a home that is rarely used. The trustee is in charge of ensuring that the property is maintained and that it does not fall into disrepair.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
