Effective Resolution Of Breach Of Fiduciary Duty Claims

Executors, trustees, and probate administrators have the fiduciary duty to act in the beneficiaries’ best interests. They are held to a high standard of honesty and integrity with the responsibility of managing a large sum of money.

When beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries accuse fiduciaries of violating their best interests, experienced legal help is paramount.

For more than 20 years, probate attorney Kai H. Wessels has advocated for fiduciaries wrongfully accused of misconduct, incompetence, greed, or acting with conflicting interests. We have also helped beneficiaries and heirs pursue claims against executors and trustees for breach of fiduciary duty. We offer a comprehensive approach to preserve the original intentions of a trust or estate.
