Trustees hold significant responsibilities in managing and administering trusts according to the grantor’s wishes. However, when trustees fail to perform their duties correctly, it can lead to disputes and concerns among beneficiaries. At Joshua G. Curtis Law, we specialize in contesting trustee actions in New Jersey, providing expert legal representation to ensure trustees are held accountable and beneficiaries’ rights are protected.
A trustee is legally obligated to manage the trust’s assets prudently, act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, and adhere to the terms set forth by the trust. Issues arise when trustees fail to meet these obligations, which can include mismanagement of assets, lack of communication, failure to provide timely and accurate information, self-dealing, or other breaches of fiduciary duty. Contesting a trustee involves legally challenging their actions or inactions to rectify any harm done to the trust and its beneficiaries. This process is crucial for ensuring that the trust is managed appropriately and that the grantor’s intentions are honored.
At Joshua G. Curtis Law, we adopt a thorough and strategic approach to contesting trustee actions. We begin by conducting a detailed consultation to understand the specifics of your situation and identify potential areas of misconduct. Our team then conducts a meticulous investigation to gather necessary evidence and build a compelling case against the trustee.

By holding trustees accountable, we help maintain the trust’s integrity and protect the beneficiaries’ rightful interests. We provide continuous support and guidance throughout the process, keeping you informed and involved at every stage.
