Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWire) -- 01/13/2016 --There is no better time than the start of the new year to get one's affairs in order so that peace of mind prevails for the rest of the year. For many high net-worth individuals, this task includes arranging a trust to administer their assets to beneficiaries after they are gone.

Choosing a trustee to administer one's assets can be a task fraught with complexities, as individuals should ideally select a trustee that will balance grantor intentions with the needs of trust beneficiaries.

In addition, Sterling Trustees charges a fixed fee based on standardized factors like size, asset types and the complexity of a trust.

Additionally, Sterling Trustee's location in South Dakota provides several advantages to clients in the form of advanced trust laws. The industry is strictly regulated in the state, ensuring protection for beneficiaries, more control for clients and protection from creditors.
