Trust Administration

Irvine Law Office: Trust Administration Attorneys

No matter how carefully a trust is written, there may be issues that arise that cause conflicts between family members and other interested parties. Sometimes, disputes can be a matter of interpretation and other times, a dispute can be a result of outright fraud or misconduct.

At the law office of Oswald & Yap, we represent trustees, trust beneficiaries, family members and other interested parties who are involved in a trust dispute. Examples of trust dispute issues include:

• Misappropriation of trust funds
• Refusal to provide funds in accordance with the trust
• Questions about the validity of a trust
• Undue influence
• Fraud
• Violation of fiduciary duty
• Additional or omitted heirs

If you believe a trustee has failed to follow the terms of a trust or if you are a trustee who needs legal representation, we encourage you to contact an attorney at our law firm. Our law office is located in Irvine, California and serves all Southern California. To schedule an appointment with an attorney at our firm, call 888.312.8923.

The Fiduciary Duties of Trustees

As administrators of a trust, trustees are held to a high standard of care. Courts have consistently held that trustees have a fiduciary relationship with the beneficiaries of a trust, and as such, must interpret the trust strictly in compliance with the trust’s terms.
