Notes

Whittier Trust Company of Nevada, Inc. is the Nevada retail trust company of Whittier Trust, listed by the Nevada Financial Institutions Division. The Reno office is at 100 W. Liberty Street, Suite 890. The firm dates the Nevada company to 1994 and markets Nevada situs, including directed trusts that divide administrative and investment responsibilities.

This is a wealth-management house with a trust charter, not a pure administrative trustee. That can be the right answer for a family that wants one firm. It is the wrong answer if the point of the Nevada appointment is to keep an unaffiliated RIA in the seat.

What to verify next

Do not treat Whittier as a product-free directed trustee. If the RIA is staying outside Whittier, get a written directed-trust appointment that keeps investment discretion off Whittier’s desk. If the family wants Whittier to manage assets, say so and price the conflict. Confirm the Nevada company — not a California Whittier entity — is the trustee of record, and that administration sufficient for Nevada situs will occur in Reno.
