Other Information

Notes and Disclaimers

Please note that in the capacities that we will be retained to serve, we may be required to engage the services of an independent attorney or other professionals to assist us.

Some services are performed by contractors outside of True Fiduciary Service and are paid directly from Client funds. The Trust, Conservatorship, Estate, Client, Corporation, or other Legal Entity directly bears these costs. These fees and expenses are not part of this firm’s compensation and will be passed on at cost.

Any family member working with TFS is salaried, therefore, not paid with client funds.

Fees are invoiced and paid from Client’s advanced monthly billing.

Fees paid from Conservatorship funds are only paid upon court approval.

Conservatorship invoices will be paid 40% before court approval (Rule 11 V. (4)).

If the court previously granted periodic payments on account of conservatorship fees pursuant to Probate Code Section 2643, those periodic payments will instead be collected.

Fees charged may vary case-by-case, depending on circumstances. This fee schedule is subject to change with reasonable notice.
