Elder Financial Abuse Litigation Attorneys Serving La Jolla, Chula Vista, La Jolla and Southern California
We represent clients in trust fraud lawsuits in which a trustee is accused of embezzlement or mishandling of trust funds during the benefactor’s life, or after his or her death. We also defend trustees when there is evidence that no fraud occurred. We are especially sensitive to matters in which elderly persons are abused financially, whether this abuse involves a trust, will or other planning arrangement.
Depending on the situation, we can make use of experts, including CPAs and financial advisors who can determine how fraud or financial misconduct may have occurred. When appropriate, our attorneys are experienced in petitioning the court for relief in matters where a trustee, beneficiary or other third party has violated the terms of the trust or applicable provisions of the Probate Code and ultimately make any distributions from the trust in accordance with California law. We have extensive experience working on matters involving the Probate Code as well as civil litigation trial experience.
