Derek Robert Haake

Derek Haake is an estate planning and estate settlement attorney focused on creating legally sound plans and guiding families through complex administrations and trust settlements. Before founding TrustFully, he served as an Estate Settlement Officer and corporate trustee with Bank of America, administering taxable estates nationwide, coordinating asset transfers, working with the IRS and financial institutions, and managing complex holdings such as real estate, business interests, oil and gas leases, and investment portfolios. That experience provides Derek with a rare insider’s view of how estates are handled in practice. He has also represented families and fiduciaries in private administrations, resolving disputes, navigating probate, and transferring assets efficiently to the next generation. Combining legal precision with practical judgment, Derek founded TrustFully to deliver high‑quality, technology‑enabled estate planning that protects clients’ wishes while minimizing court involvement, delays, and unnecessary expense.
