Trust Administration Attorney in Kansas

Trust administration is a key part of estate planning. Once a trust is created, it must be managed correctly to ensure the creator’s wishes are honored and the beneficiaries receive the support intended. At Kelley Law Firm, we assist trustees and families with trust administration throughout Kansas. Our goal is to make the process clear, efficient, and fully compliant with Kansas law.


We also assist with Missouri trusts when needed, but our primary focus is providing experienced trust administration guidance to Kansas residents.

Whether you are creating a trust as part of your estate plan or have been appointed to administer an existing trust, Kelley Law Firm provides the direction you need to carry out every responsibility with confidence.

What Is Trust Administration

Trust administration is the legal process of managing the assets placed in a trust. This may include distributing property to beneficiaries, managing investments, paying expenses, and ensuring all instructions in the trust document are followed. Trustees must act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, which can be challenging without professional support.



Our Trust Administration Attorney helps ensure the trust is managed properly, deadlines are met, and all legal requirements under Kansas law are fulfilled.

Types of Trusts We Assist With

At Kelley Law Firm, we work with clients on a variety of trust structures, including:

01

Revocable Living Trusts

A common component of an estate plan. These trusts allow you to retain control of your assets during your lifetime while simplifying the transfer of property upon death.

02

Irrevocable Trusts

Often used for asset protection, tax planning, and long term care planning. These trusts cannot be changed once created, which makes proper legal guidance essential.

03

Special Needs Trusts

Designed to provide financial support to individuals with disabilities without affecting eligibility for important public benefits.

04

Testamentary Trusts

Trusts created through a will. These require proper administration after the probate process is complete.
