How do I choose a trust protector?

Choosing a trust protector is an important decision when setting up an asset protection trust in Utah. A trust protector is a person or entity that is responsible for making sure that the terms of the trust are followed. It is important to choose someone that is knowledgeable and has a vested interest in the trust’s success. When choosing a trust protector, you should evaluate the person or entity’s level of experience and qualifications. Trust protectors should have experience in dealing with trust law and a thorough understanding of asset protection. It is also important to find a trust protector that is independent from the trust’s beneficiaries and can make unbiased decisions with their best interests in mind. You should also consider the trust protector’s availability. Choose someone who has the time to review the trust documents on a regular basis and can be available to advise the beneficiaries and make decisions consistent with the trust’s terms. If you are choosing a corporate trustee, make sure it is licensed and in good standing with the Utah Department of Insurance. Finally, it is important that you keep in mind the purpose of the trust. Make sure that whoever you choose to be the trust protector has the ability to make sure that the trust is managed according to the trust’s terms. This is especially important when the trust’s terms have to do with asset protection. With careful consideration, you can find the right trust protector to ensure that the trust is followed according to its purpose.
