Trustees and Fiduciary Duties
A trustee is a person who has been granted the right to hold and convey property in accordance with the terms of a trust. A person appointed as a trustee has a fiduciary duty to maintain and manage property for the benefit of all beneficiaries.
Due to the complex nature of trust administration, trustees are often accused of trust mismanagement. Some allegations of misuse or misappropriation are founded and some are baseless. At Francello & Van Benschoten, we have helped trustees and beneficiaries assert their rights and protect their interests.
