Special Trustee Privileges

Foreign banking and trust companies that, by the law of their states, may be appointed and may accept appointment to act as executor or trustee under the last will and testament of any deceased person in their state, may qualify for these roles in Vermont through a special process.

This process involves application to the Secretary of State in the manner already described to apply for a certificate of authority to transact business in Vermont as a foreign corporation.

The issuance of this certificate for foreign banks critically depends on whether the same privilege is accorded Vermont banking corporations and trust companies in the home jurisdiction of the applicant.

Applicants for this privilege are encouraged to attach a copy of the applicable law on the subject to their applications to speed this process along.

Copies of Documents

The fees for copies of corporation documents on file with our office are $1 per page plus $5 per document if the copies are to be certified.

Service of Process

Service of process on a foreign corporation may be made by serving the corporation directly or by serving the Secretary of State.
