Trust, Estate & Probate Litigation

 

Litigation is always emotional and stressful, especially when it involves the death of a family member, friend or loved one.  Jweinat & Jajeh LLP always strives to provide our clients with the least amount of stress while obtaining the best possible result.  

 

Trust Litigation occurs when there is a conflict between the trustee (fiduciary) and the beneficiaries of a trust.  When a beneficiary or group of beneficiaries believes that the trustee is not acting in the best interest of those beneficiaries, or meeting the standards of the trust document, litigation may ensue to clarify the rights, duties and responsibilities of trustees and beneficiaries alike.  Our firm is dedicated to representing trustees and trust beneficiaries, including when the trustee:

 

• Fails to provide an accounting

• Fails to distribute trust funds to the proper beneficiaries

• Fails to communicate with beneficiaries

• Commingles trust assets or uses trust property to pay for personal expenses

• Mismanages trust assets or fails to prudently invest trust property

 

Estate and Probate Litigation, on the other hand, deals with disputes that arise during the Probate process.  Probate is the court-supervised process of administering and distributing the estate of a decedent.  Estate and Probate Litigation often occurs when:

 

• The will is lost, destroyed or no will exists

• A creditor claim is in dispute

• One or more persons dispute the validity of the entire will or a provision contained therein

• Beneficiaries and heirs of the estate were not properly notified in accordance with California law

• The personal representative of the state breached one of their fiduciary duties

 

While there are many reasons that individuals, trustees, beneficiaries and heirs may choose litigation, Jweinat & Jajeh LLP guides our clients to seek the best possible outcome while minimizing the damage and chaos litigation generally causes in the event of death.
