Nor does it mean that the administrative process will be quick or easy.
Depending on what types of assets are owned by the trust, there could be a very short period with no fiduciary income tax return required; or it could be a very long process, involving obtaining appraisals, investing liquid assets in a manner that doesn't result in waste or loss to the beneficiaries, liquidating assets and being responsible for preparing fiduciary income tax returns.
