Contested Trust
An experienced attorney can protect your rights, resolve disputes, and ensure the trust is administered fairly.
Protecting Your Rights in Trust Disputes
While trusts are often designed to simplify the transfer of assets and avoid probate, disputes can still arise. A contested trust may involve disagreements between beneficiaries, questions about the trustee’s actions, or concerns about the trust’s validity. At the Law Office of Randal P. Hannah, we represent clients in Upland and across the Inland Empire in trust litigation matters, providing experienced legal guidance to resolve these sensitive cases.Common Reasons Trusts Are Contested
Trust disputes may arise for several reasons, including:
- Claims of undue influence or coercion in creating or modifying a trust
- Concerns about the settlor’s mental capacity at the time of drafting
- Allegations of trustee misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty
- Ambiguities or conflicting terms in the trust document
- Disputes among beneficiaries over distribution of assets
