Family offices know the investment and legacy planning needs of their client families.
What they often need is a licensed and independent Administrative Trustee to administer the trusts behind that planning.
Professional trust administration requires a specialized skill set that many family offices find uneconomic to build in-house. An external corporate trustee provides the independence regulators and courts expect, and assures your family office that the trustee serving your clients is licensed by the State of Nevada — and can navigate the daily nuances of trust administration alongside what Nevada law allows.
Families with complex multi-generational trusts — multiple beneficiaries, diverse asset classes, evolving distribution needs — deserve the same rigorous, personalized administration a dedicated family office provides. Crawford Trust brings Nevada trust knowledge and discipline to your clients' trust administration: dedicated trust officers, precise execution of trust terms, and a long-term view that puts beneficiaries first across generations and market cycles.
Why Nevada makes sense for family offices
- No state income tax — constitutionally prohibited.
- Directed-trust statutes let family offices retain full investment and distribution advisory roles.
- Among the most favorable asset protection laws in the country.
- Dynasty-trust provisions of up to 365 years.
- No mandatory public registry of trusts — privacy is structural, not procedural.
- Decanting statutes allow trust terms to evolve as family circumstances change.
