Trustee and Executor Disputes
WHITBY ESTATE LITIGATORS REPRESENTING CLIENTS IN DISPUTES REGARDING THE REMOVAL OF TRUSTEES AND EXECUTORS
A frequent conflict in estate litigation arises when beneficiaries or other stakeholders in an estate think that a trustee or executor is failing to meet the responsibilities of their role or breaching their fiduciary duty.
Upon being selected as a trustee or executor, if that person has never been in that role, they may lack the required knowledge or skills to effectively fulfill their duties and act in the estate’s best interest. In some cases, they may intentionally abuse their authority and prioritize their own interests over the estate’s.
What Happens if an Executor or Trustee is Not Fulfilling their Duties?
Several legal options are available to concerned parties where a trustee or executor is not fulfilling their responsibilities and obligations.
These include:
Before any action is taken by a beneficiary or other interested party, a consultation with an experienced estate lawyer is advisable. A lawyer will explain the options available, will help you formulate a game plan, and can represent you in any legal proceedings that may be necessary.
