Bank of America Merrill Lynch has hired two senior executives for its US Trust wealth management office at Menlo Park.

Robert Kamme is now a senior vice president while Jeffrey Quijano takes the role of senior trust officer. 

Kamme was previously the managing director for institutional equity sales at Morgan Stanley. In his new post, he will work with clients on investment management and customized credit concerns.

Meanwhile, Quijano joins from Fox Rothschild, the law firm, where he focused on estate planning and asset protection matters for Nevada clients. At US Trust, Quijano will focus on providing trust and estates advice. 

In a recent study released by the company, high net worth individuals said that the most important use of wealth is to guarantee financial security for themselves and their families. In the same report, four in 10 respondents said they do not have comprehensive estate plans.
