When this happens, an experienced trust litigation attorney can make all the difference.Trust litigation generally falls into one of two categories challenges to the validity of a trust and challenges to the administration of a trust.

Challenged to Trust Validity: Challenges to the validity of a trust often involve allegations of incapacity, undue influence, duress, or elder abuse. Additionally,if a trust was drafted without the aid of an attorney, or with an attorney lacking experience, the terms may be open to interpretation.In such cases, a dispute may arise where the court is asked to interpret an ambiguous term.This is where the guidance of trust litigation lawyers is essential.
Challenging Trust Administration : Unlike in Probate Court,Trust Administration is typically accomplished without court oversight. Disputes a rise when aggrieved beneficiaries, creditors, and taxing authorities challenge the administration of the trust, attempt to replace the trustee,or hold the trustee personally liable form is management or malfeasance.
