Trust & estate

Few things in life are more important than protecting your legacy. It’s no coincidence that building a trust and estate plan starts with building your trust. That’s why we’re just as focused on the big picture as we are on the details—from your family dynamics down to the fine print.

The BMO difference

Your family and future above all else

There are no templates when it comes to trust and estate planning. Every family is different. Every situation is unique. Here’s how we help ensure your plan suits you, your loved ones and your beneficiaries.

FAQs

Setting up a trust does take some extra planning, and a lawyer is required to draft the documents. The more complex the situation, the more care you’ll need to execute it correctly and discerningly.

That’s up to you: it depends on the nature of the trust and your intentions. Trusts can be designed to provide full control to the trustee, or key decisions can be controlled by you or whomever you choose.

Our pricing is based on the level of complexity involved in the administration of your trust. Variables include type of assets, level of oversight and tax implications, among others.
