Your Rights During Trust Administration – and When Trust Litigation Becomes Necessary

If a trustor becomes incapacitated or passes away, a trustee must take over the management of trust assets. When a trustor dies, assets must also be transferred during the trust administration process.

Trustees have a fiduciary obligation. They must act in the best interest of beneficiaries and follow the instructions set forth by the trust creator in the trust documents. Sadly, sometimes they fail to fulfill this duty and engage in wrongful behavior like mismanaging assets, abusing beneficiaries, or hiding assets.

An Orange County trust litigation lawyer can step in when this happens and represent those who have been harmed. Albertson & Davidson has represented many clients coping with problems with trustees and aiming to ensure trust assets are protected.

We are also here to help in situations where you’re contesting the validity of a trust and when other kinds of conflicts arise.
