Estate and Trust Mismanagement -- What Constitutes Grounds for Litigation
At Olsen & Traeger, our estate litigation lawyers represent clients in regard to the following issues:
Contested Wills -- Undue Influence
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for elderly people to fall victim to dishonest neighbors, disgruntled family members, or unethical nurses. At Olsen & Traeger, our estate litigation lawyers represent clients in cases where a decedent's will has been changed unexpectedly, property deeded over without explanation, or assets transferred shortly before their death. Working with investigators, psychologists, and other experts, we present evidence of undue influence and diminished capacity when contesting wills.
Fiduciary Responsibility and Trust Litigation
Unfortunately, not every trust is established with a reputable, bonded financial institution. In cases where financial mismanagement or violations of fiduciary responsibility are involved, our trust litigation attorneys consult forensic accountants and financial experts in uncovering and exposing malfeasance on the part of trustees and financial managers. We subpoena all relevant banking and financial records related to a trust, as well as copies of all file tax returns in order to identify suspicious financial activity and criminal violations of the law. We will work to recover funds wrongfully obtained, bringing actions for unjust enrichment and disgorgement from those responsible.
