Protecting Trustees Through Accuracy

Trustees have a fiduciary duty to keep beneficiaries reasonably informed of the trust and its administration. Providing a formal, accurate Trust Accounting is the strongest defense against beneficiary disputes and breach of fiduciary duty claims.

Principal and Income Separation

Standard bookkeeping does not satisfy trust accounting requirements. We specialize in the complex separation of Principal and Income required by California law.

• Income Accounting: Proper allocation of dividends, interest, and rental income.
• Principal Accounting: Tracking corpus assets, capital gains, principal disbursements, and administrative fees.
• Investment Ledgers: Reconciliation of beginning holdings, purchases, sales, and ending inventory of complex securities.

Whether it's a simple revocable living trust post-death administration or a complex, multi-year special needs trust, we deliver a polished, audit-ready product.
