Trust litigation can includes various issues such as lack of capacity, fraud, lack of proper formalities, breach of a fiduciary duty and mismanagement of trust property.Consequences of Trust Litigation:
Trustees are given a lot of responsibility. If they do not cooperate, it can leave beneficiaries in a difficult situation. Often times, trustees refuse money accounting and property distribution, or make unwise investments with the trust money, which leads to trust litigation.What a Lawyer can do for you:
