Every beneficiary of a trust is entitled to know how much money or assets are being held for his or her benefit. Sometimes the trust document will set out the procedures for asking for this information. If not, there are state laws that govern when and how to obtain this information. Whether the rules are set out in a legal document or in a statute, it is called an accounting. Gaslowitz Frankel LLC lawyers have great expertise in handling requests for accountings and lawsuits involving accountings.
