A well-executed estate plan can assure that your assets are distributed as you desire upon your passing. Our team at Range Bank can assist you with all the details of ensuring a seamless transition of all your assets.

  • Managing and protecting all property owned by the trust for you or for your beneficiaries 
  • Paying bills (Ex: Monthly utilities, insurance, medical, taxes, etc.) 
  • Working with tax professionals to assure tax forms are completed and filed in a timely manner

We provide simple and stress-free estate settlement for your family and friends. Estate settlement includes:
