Providing Expertise and Peace of Mind
Many people nominate a friend or relative to serve as trustee or executor. Before you take that step, there are some significant issues to consider. Your trustee or executor is a fiduciary. That role carries not only multiple responsibilities but also corresponding legal and financial liabilities, which can add a considerable burden on top of daily personal and professional obligations.
However, by selecting Mechanics Bank as your trustee or executor, or as the co-trustee or co-executor with someone else you name, you are assured that our professional fiduciaries will manage your assets prudently and impartially in compliance with all applicable laws, and your guiding instructions will be followed carefully and completely.
If you've already nominated an individual to be your trustee or executor, and they are concerned about the details of execution, you can retain us as your agent. We can assist your trustee with asset management, record keeping and reporting and other fiduciary responsibilities, while maintaining the same high standards of care and integrity.
