As a corporate trustee, Capital First administers the trust according to the terms of the trust document. We are responsible for making distributions to/for beneficiaries, filing tax returns for the trust, record keeping, providing quarterly statements, paying bills authorized by the trust, and answering your questions and concerns regarding the trust.

The distribution process can take anywhere from 1 to 10 business days depending on the circumstances. First, the beneficiary or authorized representative submits a signed request to the Trust Officer. The Trust Officer will review your trust document to determine if the distribution can be made. The Trust Officer will contact the person requesting funds to discuss whether or not the distribution has been approved or denied. Once approved, necessary investments may need to be liquidated to make cash available. Unless otherwise instructed, the Trust Officer will send a check, via US Mail, to the address we have on record. Checks typically take 2-5 days to receive. Direct deposit is available. Federal Express next-day delivery and wire transfer options are available for a fee.

At Capital First, we pride ourselves on accessibility. Each trust is assigned a dedicated Trust Officer who will always be your point of contact.
