Corporate trustee
Administering a trust and managing its investments are significant and time-consuming responsibilities. Although you may have a friend or family member in mind for the role—someone of the highest personal integrity in whom you have full confidence—you might benefit from hiring a corporate trustee in support of, or even instead of, that person.
When you use Bank of America corporate trustee services, your trust will benefit from our expertise in both investment management and trust administration responsibilities.
