CONTENTIOUS PROBATE AND TRUST DISPUTES

CLAIMS AGAINST TRUSTEES

Family members usually set up trusts as a way of preserving their wealth for their family. They could be set up as part of their estate planning or keeping money and assets safe for their children in the future. Trustees owe numerous duties and responsibilities to beneficiaries. They must manage the trust efficiently and act in the best interests of all the beneficiaries. If they act in a way that causes loss to the estate, or they make an unauthorized profit, then the beneficiaries may bring a claim against them.
