Planning Ahead Requires the Right Partner

Are you considering a trust or thinking of establishing a private foundation? At Bank of Albuquerque, we provide both trust administration and estate administration. Our professionals will work closely with you to reduce transaction expenses and minimize uncertainties for your beneficiaries.

  • Arranging for the disposal of your estate gives you peace of mind. Taking control of your assets clarifies your intentions and alleviates the administration of a probate.

  • Making a plan for the future without you eases the burden on your beneficiaries. Proper estate planning can greatly mitigate or eliminate transaction costs, as well as reduce taxes overall.

  • Bank of Albuquerque is uniquely positioned to answer your queries and meet your needs. We offer full estate settlement services, along with executor, co-executor and probate services.
