Private trust record

The ledger proves the money. The minutes prove why.

New readers asked for a place to keep a private trust file: beneficiaries, the money story, the decisions, private equity, evidence, a public-law shelf, and a power of attorney log. It stays in this browser. It is not filed, not a law firm, and not advice. A worked example is already loaded. Delete it when the file is yours.
