trust & estates

Serving as an executor or trustee becomes more complex with larger estates. Many individuals simply aren’t prepared for the responsibilities and liabilities that accompany these positions. The trust department at JD Bank has the experience and resources to serve as your trustee, executor, or curator in an impartial, professional manner. We will work with your other advisors to help you craft an estate plan that expresses your wishes, plans for possible incapacity, and sets the stage for a smooth transition of wealth. You’ll enjoy the confidence of knowing that your affairs are well organized and that you have a bank that is expert at executing your final wishes with precision and efficiency.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

In an increasingly complex world of securities investments, managing larger investment portfolios (including IRAs) calls for a lot of time and expertise, and many people haven’t an abundance of either. The JD Bank Trust Department employs a specialized team of credentialed investment professionals who bring a highly disciplined approach to managing your investments. Starting with an evaluation of your goals, we advise you as to an appropriate asset allocation, build your portfolio, and then monitor it on an ongoing basis. Our process includes periodic rebalancing of the portfolio, researching promising new investment opportunities, evaluating changes to the portfolio as specific investments reach our goals, and constantly monitoring the news as it impacts each security in your portfolio. Through this detailed process and diversification, investment risk can be controlled.

Whether we serve as a trustee or only as portfolio manager, the same discipline and standard of care applies. You can rest assured that your assets are well cared for in a proactive manner.

retirement

We manage IRA accounts for many clients. Retirement often means rolling your money out of a company 401(k) plan and into your own IRA. We can help you with this transition. JD Bank also acts as a trustee for company sponsored 401(k) plans, defined benefit plans and other retirement vehicles.
