A trust account is a legal entity in which one person sets aside specific assets for use by others. Through the use of a trust agreement, the person who established the trust can set limitations or rules pertaining to the management and eventual payout of the assets. A trustee (such as South Ottumwa Savings Bank) is then responsible to manage and administer the trust assets according to the rules established in the trust agreement.

As trustee, the Trust Officers at South Ottumwa Savings Bank address a family's unique circumstances, which can be tailored more carefully than a will to reflect both your wishes and your family's needs. The result then is the creation of a life-long commitment that goes beyond death.
