Our Services
Selecting a professional trustee is essential in estate planning, as they must navigate complex responsibilities with expertise and impartiality. While appointing a friend or family member as a successor trustee may seem convenient, most lack the necessary time, resources, and knowledge for the role. Instead, consider the advantages of choosing BOK Financial Advisor Trust Services as a corporate trustee. Our experienced team specializes in trust administration, ensuring compliance with legal and fiduciary requirements while avoiding family dynamics that can complicate matters.
