Often wills, probate, estate administrations and trusts trigger conflict and litigation.
Questions arise:
- Is the will valid? Did the deceased have a clear mind when he signed the will? Did the deceased sign the will freely or was he coerced or unduly influenced to sign the will?
- Are the terms of the will unclear, contradictory, disputed?
- Are assets passing according to the will or are there assets passing outside the will, by survivorship, P.O.D. (pay-on-death) or beneficiary designation?
- Has the executor listed all the estate assets and accurately valued the assets on his inventory?
- Is the trustee acting fairly and honestly toward the beneficiaries?
- Is the trustee giving the beneficiaries complete information about the trust and the trustee’s actions?
- Is the trustee making fair distributions to the beneficiaries?
- Has the trustee breached fiduciary duties owed to the beneficiaries?
These are examples of issues from actual lawsuits tried by Roger Jones.
Are you:
- An executor defending a will or suffering attack by the beneficiaries?
- A trustee undergoing criticism from the beneficiaries or accused of breach of fiduciary duties?
- An heir facing a will you believe is invalid?
- A beneficiary with an inheritance being squandered by the executor or trustee?
