Firm Description

Cumberland Trust offers a unique team approach alternative to traditional trust companies. We recognize that many individuals and their families have long-standing relationships with financial advisors, attorneys and accountants. We respect these relationships and welcome the opportunity to provide estate and/or trust administration, while working with the investment management and other professional advisors you choose. Our focus is on the beneficiaries, their needs and their values rather than on managing assets. We have provided professional, comprehensive trust and estate administration services for more than fifteen years and have been named executor and/or trustee by many families searching for an alternative to naming a family member. We are headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee and have seven additional offices across the southeast in Atlanta, Austin, Chattanooga, Dallas, Knoxville, Memphis, St. Louis, and Tampa.
