Leaving A Legacy With Navigoe Trust Services

"The sooner we learn to be jointly responsible, the easier the sailing will be."
- Ella Maillart

There was a time when trustee services were provided by your local banker, someone who you and your family knew personally. This local banker was often involved in the planning and the legal documentation process. Unfortunately, such relationships are rare in today’s era of multinational mega-banks. It is complicated by estate planning attorneys whose business focuses more on one time document preparation rather than ongoing estate planning conversations.

It is more important than ever to work with a professional trustee who you have a relationship with, is accessible to all beneficiaries and can help you and your heirs navigate financial decisions. Learn how Navigoe brings together the relationship of the traditional community banker with the expertise and resources of a modern estate planner.
