Handling Contested Trusts in San Bernardino County
Trusts are complex financial tools that can often lead to bitter disputes. Trustees are frequently accused of mishandling beneficiaries' assets and making poor decisions leading to serious tax implications. At the Law Office of Frank J. Prainito, A Professional Corporation, we handle contested trusts involving a wide range of allegations against trustees, such as:
- Failing to pay beneficiaries on time or the right amount
- Providing payment to the wrong beneficiaries
- Making substantial annual accounting and reporting errors
- Failing to determine the value of assets before a sale
Our firm's comprehensive background in probate litigation includes representing heirs with concerns someone had undue influence over the creator of the trust. We are prepared to illustrate factors of coercion used to take advantage of a family member without the mental capacity to make clear decisions about the trust.
Uncovering Concerns of Interpretation
Not all probate litigation stems from the wrongdoing of the trustee or beneficiaries. Often, contested trusts simply result from poorly written trusts leading to questions of interpretation. One interpretation may benefit one beneficiary, while another view of the trust could be advantageous to someone else.
At the Law Office of Frank J. Prainito, A Professional Corporation, we know firsthand how to draft effective trusts. Our Rancho Cucamonga attorney also knows how to interpret convoluted trusts. We have the skills and experience to help pursue the original intentions of the trust.
