Trustees have a legal duty to protect the beneficiaries and the assets and property they are holding for the benefit of someone else. These are called “fiduciary duties.” There are times when a beneficiary, family member or interested person believes that a trustee has ignored his or her duties and harmed the person whom he or she pledged to protect. When this happens, there is a claim for breach of fiduciary duty. The lawyers at Gaslowitz Frankel LLC represent plaintiffs and defendants in disputes involving claims for breach of fiduciary duty.
