ABOUT US
North Point was founded in 1999 at the request of clients who wanted a South Dakota trustee that is sophisticated in estate and trust planning and administration and is also independent from banks and investment firms.
Today, North Point is owned and operated by accountants and other professionals. The officers and employees of North Point are trained in Cannon Financial Institute courses and other relevant programs. They also have extensive experience in the creation and management of sophisticated "legacy" or "dynasty" trusts.
The philosophy of North Point is that it has a fundamental fiduciary duty to effectively and regularly communicate with the parties associated with the trust according to the trust agreement. This includes the person who created the trust, the key advisors of these individuals, etc.
North Point has become trustee for numerous trusts where the prior trustee was unable to understand and manage the various elements of a sophisticated trust and estate plan.
