Los Angeles Beneficiary Litigation Attorney

Are you involved in a Beneficiary Dispute in Los Angeles?

It is common for a father to want to help his son but fears his son will quickly waste the money.  So he sets up a trust by giving the money to a trusted friend to dole out on a monthly basis.   The friend is called the trustee and the son is called the beneficiary.  The father gives the friend a trust document spelling out how the money is to be given to the son.  Conflicts may occur here.  The beneficiary may question the judgment of the trustee in managing the funds.  He may also argue about the interpretation of the trust document.  This area of law calls for a thorough understanding of trust law. Consequently if you are involved in a beneficiary dispute, you are urged to contact a beneficiary litigation lawyer in Los Angeles familiar with trust law.

Beneficiary Disputes

Here is a sample of beneficiary disputes:

• The trust document says that the trustee may help the beneficiary with his education expenses.  The beneficiary wants to go to culinary school but the trustee says he will not give him the money except for a normal college.
• The trustee is contemplating investing the trust assets in a friend's computer startup business which he says will give a 20 per cent rate of return.  The beneficiary is worried that the investment is high risk and the money will be lost.  He also suspects the trustee is getting a kickback from the friend.
• A trust has three daughters as beneficiaries.  One of the provisions says that medical needs of the daughters may be provided for.  One daughter wants to get an experimental operation in Mexico for her cancer which is going to wipe out the trust funds.  The trustee is inclined to give her the money.  The other two daughters say the operation is too expensive, of no medical value and should not be funded.
