What Is A Trust?

A trust account is a legal entity in which one person sets aside specific assets for use by others. Through the use of a trust agreement, the person who establishes the trust can set limitations or rules pertaining to the management and eventual payout of the assets. A trustee (such as Heartland Bank) is then responsible to manage and administer the trust assets according to the rules established in the trust agreement.

As trustee, the Trust Officers at Heartland Bank address a family's unique circumstances, which can be tailored more carefully than a will to reflect both your wishes and your family's needs. The result is the creation of a life-long commitment that goes beyond death.

A Trust can provide financial stability for you and your family, now and into the future.
