About IST Admin Services

We are a team of attorneys, CPAs, and financial strategists dedicated to helping clients protect their wealth through IRS-compliant installment sale trust structures. Our mission is transparency, accountability, and integrity in every engagement.

Our Mission

At IST Admin Services, we believe that hard-working individuals and business owners shouldn't lose a significant portion of their wealth to capital gains taxes when selling appreciated assets.

Our mission is to provide compliant, proven strategies through the 537 Installment Sale Trust that allow our clients to defer taxes, receive predictable income, and maintain full control and visibility of their assets.

We work closely with your existing advisors—CPAs, attorneys, and financial planners—to ensure the trust structure fits seamlessly into your overall wealth strategy.
