Court Accounting
Our team understands that court accounting is strictly mandated, and even minor formatting errors can cause major delays. We provide the objective and reliable court accounting support you need to make the strongest case possible.
Trust Accounting
Helping trustees explain financial transactions with language everyone can understand.
Compiling annual trust accounting can be required for by trust documents or probate code. These formal documents keep each beneficiary informed of the status of the trust accounts and activities. Annual trust accounting is not only required by some trust documents or probate code, but they also provide protection for trustees in the event that a beneficiary contests the trustee’s actions.
At Smith Marion, we create accurate and reliable annual trust accounting for our clients to help alleviate the undue stress often associated with the development of these highly detailed documents. Ensure you are protected, and your trust is being handled properly with professional trust accounting support and private fiduciary services.
