Experience

Makes all the difference

Managing wealth is our craft

We’re committed to understanding what wealth means for you.

At UBS, excellence comes from nurturing the best of our heritage, mastering the details and delivering the expertise you need to turn your financial vision into a reality. The result? Financial advice that is finely crafted for what matters most to you.

Sound financial guidance for court fiduciaries and their attorneys.

We understand that legal professionals, court fiduciaries, and beneficiaries have a unique set of needs, and require a relationship that takes into consideration both the fiduciaries' responsibilities and the financial implications of the advice we provide. This is why we take a customized approach to financial planning, and offer needs-based solutions to address the financial challenges you face.

Our team can assist in managing the assets in personal trusts, irrevocable trusts, conservatorships, guardianships, probate estate accounts, and special needs trusts. We have assisted more than 550 law offices in a variety of court jurisdictions since 1994. Although the majority of our cases are domiciled in California and New York, we have been involved with matters originating from more than 30 states.

Prospective fiduciaries can have difficulty obtaining bonds for a variety of reasons. Over the many years of working within this community, we have developed a process that often allows appropriate individuals to be bonded where they otherwise may not qualify. Given that each case is unique, it is best that prospective clients and attorneys contact us directly to discuss this program.
