The Value of Appointing a Trust Protector
Life’s changes—family growth, market shifts, or new legislation—can affect even the most carefully designed trust. Adding a trust protector ensures your trust stays true to your wishes. As an impartial reviewer, a trust protector watches over trustee decisions, pinpoints when revisions are needed, and helps prevent disputes before they arise. In Fort Worth, this extra level of oversight offers families confidence that their legacy will adapt to changing circumstances.
