Working alongside the advisors you trust
Crawford Trust works alongside advisors across jurisdictions, domestic and international. Unlike states that require an advisor to be a resident, Nevada imposes no such restriction. We work alongside attorneys, financial advisors, accountants, insurance providers, and family offices — each free to serve a Nevada trust in their own professional capacity while we provide our own role as Administrative Trustee.
A partnership built around your client relationship
An institutional partnership with Crawford Trust means you retain the client relationship, the investment strategy, and the planning expertise you bring to that relationship. We provide the Nevada trust situs, a licensed corporate trustee infrastructure, and the administrative precision to execute trust terms exactly as written — a servicing arrangement built to last for the life of the trust and even beyond.
Under Nevada's directed-trust statutes
What the partnership provides
- Your team serves in the investment, protector, and distribution advisory roles
- Crawford Trust serves solely as corporate Administrative Trustee
- Crawford Trust handles all administration, recordkeeping, and reporting for the trust
- Crawford Trust does not manage investments or sell financial products — there's no competing agenda
- Your clients gain the benefits of a Nevada trust, including its tax-favorable statutes, asset-protection framework, and dynasty-trust provisions
Built on Nevada's directed-trust statutes
Nevada's directed-trust framework formally separates the corporate Administrative Trustee role from the investment advisor, protector, and distribution advisor roles. Crawford Trust serves only as Administrative Trustee. The client relationship and investment decisions remain with you. This separation is designed to minimize the potential for competing interests or conflicts over compensation.
