Product Description
Managing Trust Property by Ann LeFlore is a practical guide designed to help trustees understand what active, prudent management actually requires across every category of asset a trust may hold. Rather than treating trusteeship as passive custody, this guide frames property management as an affirmative, ongoing, documented obligation — and breaks down exactly what that looks like for real estate, investment portfolios, business interests, personal property, and digital assets.
Each section pairs trustee duties with the most common mistakes trustees make, giving readers a clear standard to measure their own administration against and the documentation practices needed to defend it.
