Trust Services for Advisors

If your clients are in need of any of our services or want to speak with someone as they make their plans for the future, we are happy to meet with them. Some clients choose to test‐drive our services, perhaps through an investment agency arrangement, so the family becomes familiar and comfortable with our trust and investment management processes and services. There is no charge to your client unless we are actively managing assets for them.

Official Name - SVA Plumb Trust Company, LLC is the title, which should be used if your clients choose to name us in their estate planning documents.

Regulatory Authority ‐ SVA Plumb Trust Company is a South Dakota state‐chartered trust company regulated by the State of South Dakota Division of Banking. SVA Plumb Trust Company carries all insurance mandated by the State of South Dakota, which includes an errors and omissions policy as well as a fidelity bond covering Trust employees. SVA Plumb Trust Company is authorized to act in the state of Wisconsin as a foreign trust company.

Coordination with Advisors – SVA Plumb Trust Company can provide the information you need to serve your clients more effectively. We can provide tax summary letters, tax ledgers, online access, and/or duplicate annual or periodic statements. We will recommend our mutual clients contact you when tax, legal, or accounting issues arise or when there is a significant change in circumstances.

Document Review ‐ We are happy to review existing estate plans with our clients, to discuss various estate planning options and to make suggestions regarding possible estate planning solutions. We will also refer clients to attorneys for assistance in implementing new or revised plans if they do not presently have a personal or family attorney.

Document Drafting ‐ We do not draft client documents although we do have a standard trust document for clients whose trusts with us will not serve as their primary estate planning vehicle. We recommend our clients ask their attorneys to draft a will or trust to create effective estate plans.

Personal Representative ‐ We have experience settling estates and can act as personal representatives. Primarily we serve in that capacity for trusts we have administered during a lifetime or for which we will serve as trustee or investment advisor.

Life Insurance Trusts ‐ We will act as trustee of a life insurance trust for current clients as a part of a relationship with SVA Plumb Financial and its affiliates.

Account Acceptance / Required Review ‐ We do not accept trusteeship of funded accounts without prior legal and asset review.
