Trust Litigation

Trust litigation happens when people disagree about how a trust is handled. A trust is a way to put your assets under the care of someone you choose, so they manage them for your family, loved ones, or other purposes. This ensures your wishes are followed, even if you can’t manage things yourself. Trusts are often used in estate planning to provide for family, support charities, or meet long-term goals.

Common Trust Disputes We Handle

We help clients with many different trust-related problems, such as:

  • Trustee Misconduct: When a trustee does not act fairly or responsibly.
  • Removing or Replacing a Trustee: If the trustee is not fit to manage the trust.
  • Arguments Between Beneficiaries: Disagreements about how assets are divided or how assets are shared.
  • Lack of Transparency: When trustees fail to provide clear financial records.
  • Challenging a Trust: If there are concerns about how the trust was created (for example, due to undue influence or lack of mental capacity).
  • Poor Asset Management: When trust funds are misused or invested badly.
  • Changing the Trust Terms: Applying to adjust the trust if circumstances have changed.
