Trustee Removal

Failure to Keep Beneficiaries Informed

A Trustee has a duty to keep the beneficiaries of the Trust informed.  It is not appropriate for a Trustee to refuse to speak to beneficiaries all together.  When a Trustee becomes completely silent and fails to keep the beneficiaries informed of his or her activities, the beneficiaries are often left with little choice but to file a Petition to remove the Trustee for failing to communicate.

Klinedinst’s Probate and Trust attorneys can assist beneficiaries to seek removal of a Trustee who fails to keep them informed, and can also represent Trustees to defend against beneficiaries who are seeking their removal.  By engaging an attorney early in the process, Trustees can better navigate their roles and responsibilities to avoid or minimize litigation.
