Trust FAQ
Answers to Help You Decide
Common questions about trust administration at Blue Ridge Bank.
{beginAccordions}
WHAT IS A TRUST AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets on behalf of your beneficiaries. BRB serves as a professional, impartial trustee to ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as intended.
DO I NEED A TRUST IF I ALREADY HAVE A WILL?
A will directs the distribution of your estate after death, but a trust can help your estate avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide ongoing management for beneficiaries. Many families benefit from having both.
HOW ARE TRUST FEES DETERMINED?
Trust fees are based on the complexity of administration and the assets involved. A trust officer will review your situation and provide a clear fee schedule before you commit.
CAN BRB WORK WITH MY EXISTING ATTORNEY?
Absolutely. We collaborate closely with your attorney, accountant, and other advisors to coordinate your estate plan and keep everyone aligned.
