[WSBAPT] trust directors and protectors

[Mark Vohr]

Sharon -

         We work with Directed Trusts and Trust Protectors in a growing number of our trusts, and it is my position that the role of Trust Protector comes within the statutory provisions of RCW 11.98B.   I'm heading out for the long weekend, but would be happy to discuss this role, options, how it works, etc. with you next week.

         Curious of others agree with my thinking on the statutory provisions.

Regards,

Mark

Hi, friends -


We are hoping to speak to someone who has recently named a Trust Protector in a revocable or testamentary trust. We understand that this is different from naming a statutory Trust Director, but we need to educate ourselves further as to how each role works.



If you have experience in this area, I would appreciate hearing from you.



Best wishes,

Sharon
