Alaska Trust Company.

Alaska Trust Company was formed in 1996 at the request of estate planning attorneys and other financial professionals in Alaska who wanted an institution that would concentrate on providing a full range of customized investment management, trust and other fiduciary services for individuals, their families and businesses.

Alaska Trust Company was the catalyst for modernizing and making innovative changes to Alaska's trust laws. As a result, Alaska became the premiere jurisdiction in the United States for the establishment and administration of trusts.

As Alaska's first and only independent trust company, it has become a leader in providing traditional trust services and is considered the leading expert in the country on Alaska's special trust arrangements. Headquartered in Anchorage, it establishes hundreds of trusts each year and has business relationships with prominent attorneys in Alaska and the Lower 48.

Education Key

Unfortunately many individuals often think that trusts are used to punish loved ones and other family members. This couldn't be further from the truth. Trusts can provide unparalleled benefits that are unavailable in any other form of estate planning.

One of Alaska Trust Company's main focuses is educating clients about the unique advantages trusts provide. Trusts, for example, are the best method for individuals to receive an inheritance or for individuals to leave an inheritance to their loved ones. With properly drafted trust arrangements, individuals are able to minimize (and in some cases even eliminate) additional estate tax, gift tax and state income tax. Meanwhile, assets are protected from unnecessary creditor claims.

Customized Service

Alaska Trust Company is not some impersonal, multidivisional financial institution. It is the perfect size to provide maximum personal service along with high efficiency, and prides itself in providing superior, customized services.
