CONTENTIOUS PROBATE AND TRUST DISPUTES

CLAIMS AGAINST EXECUTORS OF A WILL

Executors owe numerous duties and responsibilities to their beneficiaries. If they act in a way that causes loss to the estate, or they make an unauthorized profit, the beneficiaries may bring a claim against them.

If you are having difficulty with an executor, it may be possible to apply to the court to remove them. This can only be done with good reason and the court will expect those involved to try and reach an agreement between themselves first. At Birch Law we can advise either beneficiaries or executors in relation to these claims.
