Trust litigation is the process of resolving legal disputes involving trusts. Common cases include trustee misconduct, contested trust terms, and claims of financial exploitation. These matters can be complex, but we guide you through every step to protect your interests. 

Warning signs may include missing or incomplete accountings, delayed distributions, unexplained expenses, or a lack of communication. If you suspect mismanagement, an attorney can review the situation, demand transparency, and take action if the trustee has breached their duties. 

Financial exploitation or undue influence occurs when someone pressures or manipulates a vulnerable person, often an elder, into changing their trust, will, or financial arrangements. This can result in unfair or suspicious changes to who inherits. We work to expose and reverse these situations. 

Asset recovery is the legal process of reclaiming property, funds, or other assets that were wrongfully taken or mismanaged from a trust or estate. Our firm investigates improper transfers, hidden accounts, and misused funds to ensure assets are restored to their rightful place.
