Trust Disputes |
 |
A trust is a document whereby an individual (the trustor or settlor) transfers or designates certain property to be transferred to someone (the trustee) for the benefit of the trustor or someone else (the beneficiary).
The Arizona trust code was adopted effective January 1, 2009. It includes very extensive provisions for the formation and administration of trusts in Arizona. Disputes may arise regarding, for example, the following:
- Whether the trustor had capacity (was of sound mind) to create the trust
- Whether the trustor was subjected to undue influence in creating the trust
- Whether the trust was affected by fraud, or duress
- Whether the trustee has provided correct and full accountings of the trust’s assets, income, income and disbursements
- Whether the trustee has prudently invested and administered the trust’s assets
