The Public Trustee of Queensland was established in 1915. The Office was known as the Public Curator of Queensland until 1978.

The Public Trustee of Queensland is the largest Public Trustee in Australia and the largest trust organisation in Queensland. We have 15 regional offices throughout the state, which allows us to provide economical and accessible financial, trustee, legal and associated services to all Queenslanders.

The organisation was established initially to act in the capacity of administrator of deceased estates, providing financial management for people with a disability and giving aid in any legal proceedings by or against a disadvantaged person.

The Public Trust Office has continued in its role of assisting the community, and has responded to community demand by introducing many new services. Our services have expanded to include obtaining probate for private executors, investments, the auctioning of motor vehicles, property and other assets.
