Trusts Litigation & No Contest Clauses:
In addition to providing trust legal documents to clients for estate planning purposes, Masonlawyers are adept at representing beneficiaries or trustees in trusts disputes. Similar to a will dispute, a trust document may contain a No-Contest clause that could disinherit anyone who, directly or indirectly, challenge the terms of the trust. If the challenger is found to have violated the No-Contest clause set-forth in a trust, he or she could be entirely disinherited. For that reason alone, you want to make sure that you are working with experienced trust litigation attorneys who understatnd the significance of a No-Contest clause and other legal pitfalls that are inherent in trust litigation.
Source of Trusts Disputes:
Trusts disputes often arise out of either a beneficiary not being satisfied with the way in which the trust is being adminstered, and therefore will seek to have the trustee removed. Another reason why trusts disputes occur is that some party may believe, rightfully or wrongfully, that the trust documents do not reflect the trustor's wishes, or that the trust documents were the product of fraud, duress, coercion or menance; and thus, could not be an accurrate representation of the settlor's true intent. Like trust documents, a trust amendment may be contested as well.
