Administration-Only Model

Advisor-Friendly Trust Services

McLane Middleton Trust Company delivers high-touch fiduciary services focused exclusively on trust administration. As a directed trustee, we concentrate on administering each trust with precision and professionalism, while allowing clients to maintain their existing team of wealth management, financial, and legal advisors. We do not manage investments, provide legal advice, or offer financial planning, ensuring your existing advisor relationships remain intact. Our role is to provide meticulous, compliant, and personalized administration for families, individuals, and their advisors.
