Trusts & Estates



Planning for Your Future

A trust can be designed to bring you and your family peace of mind.  Whether you want to provide for grandchildren, endow a charity, or provide for the special needs of a loved one, a trust offers a flexible planning method, written to your specific concerns and priorities, to address your most personal family matters. Caldwell Trust Company exists to provide personal, traditional and independent trust services. Our team offers a full range of integrated services, tailored to your individual priorities, to help you enhance and protect your legacy for generations to come. 

Why You Should Consider a Trust & Estate

Having a trust in place and organizing your estate gives you the peace of mind that everything is taken care of. All of your information and assets are organized so you can continue to plan for your future and give your family all the details they need.

Family Governance

Family governance should not be considered exclusive to wealthy families. In fact, any family relying on a system of decision-making, especially those in business together, should concern themselves with establishing a family governance system. At Caldwell Trust Company, we help families to build well-functioning family governance structures that:

  • Communicate the family’s values, mission and vision
  • Keep family members informed about major business accomplishments, challenges, and strategic directions
  • Explain the rules and decisions that might affect family members’ employment dividends, and other benefits received from the business
  • Establish formal communication channels that allow family members to share ideas, aspirations, and issues
  • Allow the family to come together and make necessary decisions
