As Victoria’s public trustee,



State Trustees has been helping protect the interests of Victorians since 1939. However, we have an even longer history dating back to the 1850s of involvement in administering deceased estates and managing the financial and legal affairs of people who are unable to do so due to disability, mental illness or other circumstances. For almost 50 years, State Trustees operated as the Public Trustee for Victoria which came about after the Victorian Government brought together most of the functions previously provided by the offices of the Curator of the estates of Deceased Persons and the Master in Equity. In November 1987, the State Trust Corporation of Victoria (trading as State Trustees) was created as a statutory corporation with its management being governed by a board of directors.
