AmeriEstate has the expertise and compassion necessary when a loved one has died or is experiencing a significant loss of health. Our experts know how to come alongside you and your family during this transitional time and ease the complex financial and emotional issues of trust administration.

When there is a loss of a loved one, it can be hard to move forward right away. Having to find your way through the red tape of someone else’s life is complicated and can be the last thing you want to do in a time of grief. But, if you are a surviving spouse or appointed as a successor trustee, you must make critical decisions within a specified time following your loved one's passing. These decisions affect the ongoing management of the trust estate and require prompt attention.

What if your loved one is still alive, but their health is declining? Dealing with incapacity is a difficult and scary time.

The AmeriEstate Difference

Unlike law firms and banking institutions, we do not try to take over the settlement of your Trust. AmeriEstate’s process is to create simple Trust documents your chosen successors can use and understand. We then help and support your chosen successors to complete this task rather than charging your estate outrageous fees to do these relatively simple tasks.

An AmeriEstate Living Trust is created with this goal in mind. However, at the same time, we stand ready to perform any particular tasks that your appointed person may wish to delegate due to time factors or lack of familiarity with a given task.
