Claims Involving Fiduciaries

Skilled Counsel in Disputes Over the Performance of a Fiduciary

Many of the relationships that fall under probate court jurisdiction are fiduciary in nature. In other words, one person owes someone else a duty of integrity, diligence and competence and must put the interests of the other person first.

Trustees owe fiduciary duties to beneficiaries, guardians owe them to wards, and personal representatives owe them to both heirs and the estate itself. If you have reason to question the performance of a fiduciary in trust or estate administration, contact a lawyer at Deloughery Law Office,, PLC, to learn about the full range of your options. Our attorneys also advise fiduciaries of all kinds who are concerned about the potential for liability to a beneficiary or other interested party.

Claims involving fiduciaries can get personal and messy. One of our goals in trust and estate litigation is to help the parties find ways to resolve disputes over the performance of a personal representative or trustee without the need for extended proceedings in probate court.
