At First National Bank, we actively serve as trustee of personal trusts, whether the trusts are created during a client’s lifetime (called a “living trust”) or created to take effect after death (called a “testamentary trust”). As trustee, we manage the trust investments and make distributions as instructed in the trust instrument. Upon the client’s death, the trust may terminate or continue for the benefit of certain named beneficiaries (i.e. a son, daughter, spouse, or other family members). A living trust can also be used as a disability planning tool to make sure the client and her family are properly cared for in the event of incapacity. Whether named as original or as a successor trustee, First National Bank will ensure that the client’s trust will be correctly followed by making sure the trust assets are invested prudently and distributions are made to the trust beneficiaries as directed by each client.

The Trust Department accepts appointments as executor or administrator of an individual’s estate. The client, with assistance from legal counsel, will normally execute a last will and testament that names First National Bank as the independent executor of the client’s estate. As executor, we are in charge of probating the client’s will, collecting, inventorying and valuing the estate assets, paying estate taxes and creditors, keeping accurate accounting records, and distributing the estate assets to the beneficiaries named under the will.
