ESTATE MISMANAGEMENT LAWYER

As a beneficiary legally entitled to receive your full inheritance, it is entirely unacceptable to not receive the entirety of your inheritance from those charged with delivering it to you. For when the trustee or the executor of the estate fails in their fiduciary duty to protect and fully transfer all the money that they were legally obligated to transfer, there is a very serious problem that needs to be rectified. This is even more egregious where the executor, trustee or administrator is in fact a financial institution or other professional, and thereby has a higher professional and fiduciary obligation as to the inheritance and yourself.

The fact remains that in these situations the executor had but a single overriding obligation and that is to the beneficiaries of the estate, and undertaking any action or benefit for their own personal financial aggrandizement borders on outright criminality. Yet as a beneficiary, your legal recourse is to the civil courts and attempting to effectuate the recovery of money that is rightfully yours. And though this can be a prodigious battle, it is one that needs to be fought for that inheritance is duly owed to yourself and no one else, and most especially not the executor, trustee or administrator who owes a fiduciary and legal duty to yourself to uphold the wishes of the decedent and distribute their estate accordingly.

And all too often the problem is that even though the victims know that there is some impropriety, they fail to realize the depth of the fraud and estate mismanagement. For the deception can be quite pernicious, such that the victimized beneficiaries have been kept in the dark to such a degree that they are incapable of discerning what their inheritance should be and in turn recognize that they are being defraud by those seemingly closest to them and those whom they would not contemplate ever stealing from them.

In these unfortunate circumstances, the legal counsel of the law firm of Neufeld Legal P.C. can be invaluable to identifying and pursuing estate mismanagement and executor fraud. And where the theft from the estate is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars, the need for a skilled financial estate lawyer is that much more significant. If your inheritance has been put at risk, contact the law firm of Neufeld Legal P.C. at 403-400-4092 or by email at chris@neufeldlegal.com.
