Number One Reason Trustees Have Disputes With Beneficiaries

Number One Reason Trustees Have Disputes With Beneficiaries
Florida attorney Reed Bloodworth said that the number one reason trustees have disputes with beneficiaries is a lack of communication.
Reed handles trustee defense for clients facing litigation against beneficiaries.
“I think it’s important for trustees to communicate much more often with the beneficiaries,” Reed said. “You don’t want to just say, ‘here’s your annual trust accounting,’ and leave it at that.
“I think that one way to avoid getting in trouble, or, avoiding legal issues, or, avoiding upsetting beneficiaries is to communicate with them - more often.”
