Trust Trouble: Sub-Trusts, Trustee Misconduct, and Lifetime Trusts

In this episode of Ask 2 Lawyers, we dive into key trust and estate topics, including sub-trusts, fraudulent concealment by trustees, and the challenges of terminating lifetime trusts. We also discuss formal accounting and asset inventory requirements, shedding light on how beneficiaries can protect their interests.

On a lighter note, we share why Stewart is remote this week—hint: it involves Cirrus jet training! Plus, we touch on a high-profile case making headlines: Rupert Murdoch’s trust planning and the future of Fox News. Tune in for insights, stories, and a closer look at the legal world.
