MICHIGAN TRUST AND ESTATE LITIGATORS AND ADVOCATES
Probating an estate or administering a trust can have many pitfalls. The loss of a family member is stressful and the additional challenges of investigating their finances and managing their property and heirs can be overly burdensome.
We have experience with unresponsive trustees, complex financial matters, and suspicious monetary transfers to help relieve the stress of navigating trusts, wills and probate court.
We have experience with cases regarding:
Nonresponsive and lazy trustees
Favoring one beneficiary over another
Theft of trust or estate funds
Commingling of trust or estate assets with the trustee’s personal assets
Failure to get fair value upon the sale of trust or estate assets like real estate
Dissipation of assets through negligent management or maintenance
Abuse of a power of attorney with respect to financial or medical treatment decisions
Overcharging for services of acting as trustee
Failure to provide information to beneficiaries like regular accountings and record keeping
Undisclosed conflicts of interest or self-dealing to enrich the trustee
Creating a trust by someone with a lack of capacity
Exerting undue influence over a person executing a will
Mismanagement of guardianship or conservatorship
