Caring, Focused Estate Law Counsel for Arizona Personal Representatives
Serving as a personal representative for an estate is not something most people are trained to handle. If the designated person fails to diligently undertake the duty, the estate and all beneficiaries may suffer. Whether you face the task of administering a probate estate or a trust, an experienced attorney can help you avoid mistakes that may constitute a breach of fiduciary duty.
The Starr Law Firm, PLC, is an excellent resource for individuals, families, professionals and business owners in need of personal or corporate estate law counsel, including performance of all fiduciary duties related to trust and probate administration. If you want to work with a Phoenix attorney focused on preventing breach-of-fiduciary-duty allegations, contact my law office today.
I guide each client through performance in the role as fiduciary and protect them from litigation that could arise from:
- Failure to follow Arizona probate codes or rules
- Failure to execute probate court orders
- Estate transference failures
- Conflicts of interest
- Probate fraud
- Inappropriate investment or self-dealing
A Breach of Fiduciary Duty Often Involves Property or a Family Business
The serious, persistent real estate market slump can make the timing of selling estate property such as a home a critical issue. Personal representatives have been sued for failing to sell a house or land within a reasonable time, making it worth less in the end. In some cases they may be surcharged because they fail to act, requiring the property be sold hurriedly before the bank begins foreclosure. Probate of an estate with business interests can raise similar issues due to lack of proper business valuation, accounting errors and other matters.
