Trust Administration Assistant - Reno
San Pasqual Fiduciary Trust Company is the only California and Nevada-based trust company dedicated to providing trustee-only services.

No two trusts are the same, and this keeps our work interesting and dynamic. Working at San Pasqual Trust, you will have the opportunity to assist in the management of trusts for high-net-worth families while gaining exposure to the various disciplines that intersect with trust administration, including estate planning, investment management, real estate management, insurance, taxation, and law.
