Failure to Account Attorney in Walnut Creek
Feldman Law Group Can Help Trustees & Beneficiaries in Alameda County
One of the most common reasons for a breach of trust lawsuit to be levied against someone with a fiduciary duty to beneficiaries of an estate is when that person is accused of failing to account for the trust’s proper assets and property. Most often, beneficiaries bringing forward such claims may believe the trustee is intentionally hiding certain assets for personal gain. Other times, the existence of unaccounted for items belonging to an estate may be the result of negligent management of the trust.

We understand and appreciate how serious it is when a trustee is accused of breaking their legal obligation to beneficiaries.
