Anaheim Trust Litigation Attorney

Trusts are often preferred as an estate planning tool compared to a will. While a trust can be more complicated and more costly to create than a last will and testament, it has significant benefits that make this estate planning tool the right choice for many.

Trusts involve separating ownership and control of trust assets, with trustees managing assets on behalf of beneficiaries. This can sometimes provide protection from creditors depending on the type of trust. Trusts can also protect assets in case of incapacity and may allow assets to transfer outside of the probate process.

Unfortunately, sometimes things go wrong when a trust is created. When this happens, the stakes can be high. Questions can arise over whether trustees are doing their job and whether the trust is even valid in the first place, and this can put an inheritance and a legacy at risk.

  • Fraud or forgery: Claims that the trust creator was tricked into making the trust or the trust was not actually created or signed by the alleged creator
  • Breach of fiduciary duty: Allegations that the trustee is enriching themselves at the expense of the beneficiary
