Frequently Asked Questions
Trust litigation is a specialized area of law that most people have never had to navigate before. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often from clients dealing with trust disputes in Florida.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the dispute and how far the matter needs to go. During your free evaluation, we’ll walk you through fee structures openly so you know exactly what to expect before making any commitments.
Yes. A trust can be challenged on many of the same grounds as a will, including lack of capacity, undue influence, fraud, and duress. The process differs somewhat from a will contest because trusts are not automatically subject to court supervision, which means challenges often require initiating litigation in circuit court. An experienced trust litigation attorney can evaluate whether a challenge is viable and guide you through the process.
Trustees in Florida have specific legal duties, including the duty to administer the trust in good faith, to keep beneficiaries reasonably informed, to avoid conflicts of interest, and to manage trust assets prudently. If a trustee is failing to meet these obligations, there are legal remedies available, including petitioning the court for an accounting, compelling distributions, surcharging the trustee for damages, or seeking their removal. We can evaluate your situation and recommend the most effective course of action.
The most frequent causes of trust litigation include trustee misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty, disputes over the interpretation of trust terms, challenges to the validity of the trust document itself (based on undue influence, fraud, or lack of capacity), conflicts among beneficiaries over distributions, and situations where a trustee is failing to provide required accountings or information. Any of these can give rise to formal legal action if they cannot be resolved informally.
