Why Garden State Trust

1Expertise and Experience

Our team consists of experienced professionals who understand financial planning, tax laws, trust, and estate administration, as well as investment management.

2Personalized Service

Garden State Trust Company offers personalized, client-focused service. We collaborate closely with individuals, families, and their advisors to tailor solutions that meet unique financial goals.

3Continuity and Reliability

Establishing a trust relationship with Garden State Trust Company ensures continuity of asset management, which is especially important for long-term wealth preservation and generational planning. Unlike individuals who may pass away or change roles, or lack the necessary knowledge and experience, as a corporate trustee we provide lasting, dependable oversight. The wisdom of a corporate trustee cannot be simply overstated as individual trustees rarely possess the level of experience required to manage the important substantive and procedural aspects of trust and estate administration.

4Fiduciary Duty

As a professional trustee, Garden State Trust Company is bound by a fiduciary duty, which means we are legally obligated to act in the best interests of the trust beneficiaries. Our approach reduces the risk of mismanagement or conflicts of interest that can arise with family members or less experienced trustees.

• Revocable Trusts (Funded and Stand-by)
