Fiduciary Litigation

A fiduciary is a person to whom property is entrusted for the benefit of another, such as a Trustee, an Executor, a Guardian or an attorney in fact under a Power of Attorney.  Along with the authority given to the fiduciary, there are certain fiduciary duties.  Litigation can arise when a fiduciary violates those duties or is accused of violating those duties.  At The Knee Law Firm, LLC, our attorneys have significant experience representing those challenging the fiduciary’s actions and defending fiduciaries, whose actions are challenged, and are familiar with the unique aspects of the law regarding fiduciary obligations and the procedures for challenging and defending the conduct of fiduciaries.
