If You Are a Trustee

As the legally appointed trustee, you have rights and duties. Those responsibilities often include the distribution and investment of financial assets according to the specific instructions established by the trust's creator. If a beneficiary is questioning your actions, get legal advice and representation immediately. Resolving issues early, prior to a formal lawsuit, is often the best way to avoid a costly and emotional dispute.

We are a boutique law firm and on a routine basis we handle a variety of very large and complex financial and legal matters in every aspect of our practice. From our offices in Austin, we handle numerous legal matters in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and other cities throughout the state.
