Orange County Trust Litigation Lawyer
Respected Orange Country Trust Litigation Attorney
When a trust contest occurs, it can cause a lot of upheaval between the executor and beneficiaries, especially when those involved are family members who are affected by the trust. No matter what role you have in the dispute, it is important to consult with qualified counsel who is familiar with the California probate process and the laws governing the administration of trusts.
I am Robert L. Wishner, Attorney at Law, an experienced California estate lawyer who represents clients embroiled in trust litigation matters by providing effective legal services in a sensitive atmosphere. Contact me to arrange a consultation at my Irvine law office to discuss your concerns and goals.
Representing Clients in Trust Litigation
Although the trust administration process is more private than the normal probate administration process, it is not completely removed from legal accountability. Executors, like trustees, must obey the law and remain faithful to the provisions of the trust.
If a trust beneficiary suspects the trustee of violating his or her role, it is possible to sue to remove the trustee or to force an accounting of the trust assets. Trust mismanagement is one of the leadings causes of trust litigation in California.
If the trust was established illegally or under duress, it may be possible to have it dissolved and have the property passed directly to beneficiaries. If the trust administrator passes away before fulfilling all of their duties and there is a dispute concerning the naming of a successor, I can provide counsel to help reach a workable resolution or help someone who is petitioning the court to be appointed to assume the duties.
I represent clients with claims against trustees as well as trustees who find themselves drawn into trust litigation, involving any of the following issues:
- Petitions for change of trusteeship
- Tax filing and disputes
- Audits and disclosures
- Fiduciary responsibility
- Contested irrevocable or revocable trusts terms
