Trust litigation lawyers enter the picture when there is an issue within the trust that requires litigation. A trust litigator can help both the Beneficiaries and the Trustee resolve disputes involving a loved one’s trust.
But just because the trust designation and terms are not favorable to you, you cannot challenge its administration. There are legal causes leading to trust litigation. These include:
Fraud - someone stealing from the trust. This is a breach of fiduciary duty which can be discovered via forensics.
Undue Influence - this can be especially true with elder abuse. One person may be in a position of more dominance that can create undue influence over the other party.
Incapacity: the physical or mental inability to manage one’s affairs.
