Trust Litigation

Trusts provide an orderly means to hand assets down to heirs in a way that accurately reflects the intent of the person transferring the property in their estate. However, there may be unintended consequences or circumstances that prevent the Trust from being properly distributed, such as:

• The Trustee fails to distribute the Trust as required;
• The Trustee fails to account for the Trust property as required;
• Co-Trustees may not agree on the division of property, if the Trust is unclear, causing years of delay in distribution;
• The Trustee may not take required actions; or
• One of multiple co-trustees may improperly take Trust property for themselves;

In such cases, Court intervention may be required to remove trustees who have breached fiduciary duties; to order proper accounting of Trust property; to quiet title to property, to obtain orders for return of property; and for directions relating to Trust property and appointment of Trustees.

On the other hand, a Trustee acting in good faith can be wrongly accused of improper actions by Beneficiaries. In such cases, the Trustee may have to defend a legal action brought by these beneficiaries.
