Examples of inheritance trust disputes can be broad and varied; from questions over the validity of wills, to claims for financial provision and disputes with executors.
Common scenarios in which trustees and beneficiaries may encounter disputes include:
• A beneficiary was expecting more than what is set out in the trust document
• The trust was set up by an individual who was not of sound mind at the time of setting it up
• The individual who set up the trust was provided with negligent or misleading advice
• The trust document is either incomplete or unclear about the wishes of the deceased
• A trustee acts against the best interests of the beneficiary, or doesn’t administering the trust correctly
