Trust Beneficiary Litigation | Prevention, Protection & Pursuit

Trust Beneficiary Litigation | Prevention, Protection & Pursuit

• December 4, 2020 - Abused Beneficiaries, Trust Litigation,

I’m Mike Hackard of Hackard Law. All trust beneficiary litigation, with its potent blend of family feuds, grief over loss, and conflict over money, is ultimately a quest for justice: the prevention of harm, protection of the victims, and pursuit of beneficiary rights.

An abused beneficiary experiences several emotions: a deep-rooted mix of family expectations, fear of rejection, and mourning. These cases stem from wrongdoing – from the violation of moral, family or legal rules.

Trustees who fraudulently or recklessly breach their duties of loyalty and fidelity may be liable for the emotional distress damages inflicted on the abused beneficiary. Lawsuits may be filed to prevent further harm to beneficiaries. To protect them from continuing or threatened wrongdoing.

The pursuit of beneficiary rights may be focused on flawed accounting, delayed distributions, or old-fashioned fraud. Wronged beneficiaries seek legal help. They seek what’s rightfully theirs and has been taken from them.

The type of help needed is not always clear. This is where experience counts. We turn to experienced medical professionals when we are injured. We don’t go to a dermatologist for a broken leg – or to a dentist for an eye injury.

Hackard Law’s focus on estate, trust and catastrophic injury litigation gives us great perspective on the rights and remedies of abused and injured trust beneficiaries. We review case facts, consider courses of action, and fashion hourly or contingency fee attorney-client agreements as appropriate.
