How is a trustee held accountable?
Trustees have a crucial responsibility of adhering to the specific terms of the trust and being held accountable to the beneficiaries for their actions. It is important to note that trustees who engage in self-dealing or utilize trust assets for their personal gain may face personal liability. When a breach of trust takes place or is at risk of happening, a probate litigation attorney can work with you to have the court take action and implement various equitable remedies.
