The About page calls it an independent trust company that sells no products and takes no commissions or referrals, and states it is also licensed by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions with a South Dakota or Ohio situs option. Trustee Services is directed / mixed: Option 1 directed administration under a Trust Protector, Distribution Committee, and/or Investment Advisor; Option 2 fully managed; Option 3 delegated investment management. Confirm which option and which situs sit on the appointment. This page does not invent fees or AUM.
What to verify next
Confirm credential TC.030-2 and that Biltmore Trust Company — not an Ohio letterhead — is the appointed trustee, and which situs (South Dakota or Ohio) the instrument actually uses. Get the seat in writing. Trustee Services publishes Directed, Fully Managed, and Delegated options; directed here means administrative trustee taking direction from a Trust Protector, Distribution Committee, and/or Investment Advisor. Ask who fills those directed seats and whether the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions license changes anything for the file. About says fees are fully disclosed; request a current schedule and do not invent dollars. Omit AUM.
