Executor Misconduct Needs Intervention by California Trust Lawyer
Emotions can run high for heirs and beneficiaries during the probate or trust administration process. You may experience personality clashes, miscommunications, or disagreements with other beneficiaries or the executor.Differences of opinion alone aren’t sufficient grounds for having the executor of an estate removed. But when might an argument with the trustee or executor be more than an argument? When might misconduct actually warrant executor removal?
Some examples of potential California executor misconduct:
- Stalls on applying for probate or initiating trust administration
- Fails to perform required duties
- Ignores court orders
- Harms or endangers the interests of those set to inherit from the estate
- Refuses to provide documentation of transactions involving California estate assets
- Attempts to gain financially or materially from serving as executor
- Mismanagement of estate assets that causes loss or damage of property value
- Criminal activities, like embezzlement, theft, or fraud
Be sure to keep documented evidence of decisions or actions that have harmed the estate or those set to inherit from it as soon as you become aware of them. You will need it for proof of misconduct in your case.
