One of the primary purposes of creating a Trust is to avoid Probate, but the Successor Trustee still must comply with the law as well as the terms of the trust. The trustee must provide notice to heirs, determine the assets, debts and tax obligations of the trust, and report to the beneficiaries. Even when the situation does not seem complicated, legal assistance is needed to comply with the law and make sure the trust is distributed properly.
