Family Harmony

PFS understands that many trust administration issues involve more than money; they are inherently difficult because often they involve emotions and sometimes include competing interests or convoluted family dynamics. Using a private trust administrator can help relieve a lot of pressure on family and friends, and our goal in handling these issues is to offer compassionate, focused counsel that helps all family members work toward a unified goal.
