Identify Project Scope

We work with you and your counsel to determine the timeline and necessary reporting based on your case-specific situation and needs.

Gather & Organize

We work with you to identify and gather all relevant and required financial information necessary for reporting as well as the ongoing administration of your trust, estate, or conservatorship. We provide a means of managing and organizing such information so that it is readily available to all appropriate parties.

Identify Assets

Our review of each case includes identifying and confirming the assets held in the trust, estate, or conservatorship, ensuring all assets have been accounted and verified.

Prepare Accounting Schedules

We document each transaction separately, confirm and clarify transaction descriptions, and report each transaction on the appropriate accounting schedule.

Income & Principal Allocation

The Uniform Principal & Income Act (UPAIA) requires that transactions be allocated between Income & Principal. Our extensive experience and knowledge of UPAIA requirements allow FAS to complete these allocations quickly and accurately.

Document

Through our proven methodology, we transform volumes of financial transactions into concise information, meeting all California Probate Code requirements. We ensure that you can provide a complete and accurate account of your period of responsibility, whether you are reporting to beneficiaries or the probate court or preparing for legal proceedings.

Distribution Proposals

In the event a probate is closing, a trust is being terminated, or a legal settlement has been reached, FAS will prepare a proposed distribution schedule to clearly present the division of assets between beneficiaries.
