Depending on the number of assets held subject to a trust — and the obligations required of the trustee — a trustee can face an enormous responsibility. It is not uncommon, however, for the trustee to mismanage the trust or find him or herself in a dispute with beneficiaries. When the threat of trust litigation becomes a reality, it is crucial to have an experienced lawyer on your side.
At Barberi Law, we represent clients in all types of trust litigation matters, including:
- Beneficiary claims
- Trust reformation actions
- Breach of fiduciary duty claims
- Allegations of trust mismanagement
- Requests for accounting of trust finances
Similar to a will contest, trust litigation can also arise when an individual challenges the validity of a trust. Litigation regarding a trust’s validity often involves issues such as fraud, duress, undue influence, coercion, improper trust formation and lack of capacity.
