Trustees hold a significant responsibility in managing and administering a trust according to the grantor’s wishes. Unfortunately, there are instances where trustees may act improperly, failing to fulfill their fiduciary duties. At Joshua G. Curtis Law, we specialize in addressing trustee misconduct in New Jersey, ensuring that beneficiaries’ rights are protected and that the trust is managed correctly.
Trustee misconduct occurs when a trustee fails to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries or violates the terms of the trust. This can include actions such as mismanaging trust assets, failing to provide accurate and timely information, engaging in self-dealing, or using trust funds for personal gain. Such misconduct can severely impact the trust’s value and the beneficiaries’ inheritance. Contesting trustee misconduct involves a thorough investigation of the trustee’s actions, gathering evidence, and holding the trustee accountable for any breaches of their fiduciary duty. It is essential to address these issues promptly to prevent further harm to the trust and ensure that the grantor’s wishes are honored.
