  • What is Trust Litigation
Even the most meticulously detailed trust can cause a dispute. Hurt feelings, distrust, and frustration among families, can lead to trust litigation. 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.
