Support & Trustee Advisory Services

What STAS Has to Offer

Support and Trustee Advisory Services assists families by providing information and assistance to families about planning for the future - wills, trusts, and financial and estate planning.

Special Arrangements For Trust Funds

In the past, there have been several problems families face around trust funds - who to name as trustee; having enough money to qualify for a trust company's trustee services;  making sure the trustee stays in touch with the family member who has a disability.

To address these issues, STAS has entered into an arrangement with Royal Trust.  The arrangement means that families have access to trustee services for their sons and daughters at a reasonable cost.

• Royal Trust acts as a Trustee.  It manages the trust funds.  To maximize financial returns, individual trust amounts are pooled for investment purposes.  Each individual fund, however, remains distinct.

• Because many families will be involved, the minimum amount for an individual trust fund is $10,000 (instead of the far greater sums usually required).

• Support and Trustee Advisory Services is named as the advisor to Royal Trust in all individual trusts.

• Support and Trustee Advisory Services will be the liaison between the Royal Trust and the individual and his/her network of support.
