What to Know About Estate and Fiduciary Disputes

When someone fails to uphold their responsibilities in an estate or fiduciary role, the impact can be financially and emotionally overwhelming. Whether you're dealing with a contested will, mismanaged trust, or questionable actions by an executor or trustee, these are not issues you should handle alone. At JLG, we understand the seriousness of these situations — and we're here to help you navigate them with clarity and confidence.

Our experienced legal team offers straightforward, compassionate guidance through complex fiduciary litigation. If you're concerned about protecting your rights or resolving a dispute, we invite you to schedule a consultation and learn how we can support your case.

A fiduciary relationship exists when one person places trust and confidence in another to act in their best interest. This legal responsibility often arises in estate and trust matters, where individuals like trustees, executors, or agents are expected to manage assets honestly and responsibly. When someone in this role fails to act in good faith, serious legal and financial consequences can follow.

Fiduciary disputes can involve issues like mismanagement of trust funds, undue influence in the drafting of a will, or disagreements over how assets are distributed. These matters are often emotional and complicated — which is why having a knowledgeable legal team is critical. At JLG, we’re here to protect your rights and help you resolve disputes with clarity and confidence.

Fiduciary litigation cases include contested wills and trusts, especially where there are concerns about undue influence or whether someone had the mental capacity to make sound decisions. We also handle legal disputes over powers of attorney and disagreements regarding the correct interpretation of legal documents like wills or trust agreements.
