A trust adviser makes sure a trust or trust fund is properly executed. It is their job to see the rights of a beneficiary are being looked after and offer advice. They may have certain other legal powers and can oversee the decisions of a trustee, like a trust protector. Qualifications for this career include experience in law and finance, educational attainment, professional certification, and interpersonal skills. The American Bankers Association offers the Certified Trust and Financial Advisor (CTFA) designation.
