We “Bust” Trusts on Contingency. In other words, we “break” a trust on contingency. When a trust serves no particular purpose or has undefined terms or meaning, a Trust can be challenged. If the Trust was simply done in bad faith, it can be challenged. Unfortunately, Trust Dispute fights can be extremely expensive legal matters between the lawyer fees and case expenses. The Trustee defending the Trust can often use Trust money itself to defend the Trust that is being disputed.
So, to Bust a trust on contingency, this can be the trojan horse for the client who otherwise would be powerless for financial reasons. Because we have seen Trust disputes where the opposing party have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Trust fight, contingency can be help those who cannot pay for the Trust fight. When you hire a Trust Dispute Lawyer on Contingency, they are only paid when they make a recovery for you. Your attorneys are in the same position as you. We are rowing in the same direction with the same goals..
Unfortunately, the Trust needs to be a big enough Trust to justify a contingency fee as the costs of these cases are high and it is impractical to do contingnecy on smaller Trusts fights even when the case has merit.
Accordingly, we only take a few trust dispute cases. To “Bust” or “Break” Trust , it usually needs to be related to Trusts without purpose or defined purpose. Other Trusts can be challenged when there are Fraudulently made Trusts or Forgery. Trusts can be challenged when they were executed under undue influence or done where the settlor lacked the mental capacity to do a Trust legally.
In inheritance Trust fights, we have been successful in recovering many millions of dollars . Please, Do not fear the “Forfeiture Clause”, if we take your case we believe you that have brought a case in good faith and therefore it is unlikely you have to fear the “no contest” clause. We would not take your Trust Dispute on Contingency if your case had a big risk. However, it is always significant risk and therefore it puts what you would receive in the Trust at risk, so you need to consider all this and think about very carefully. If however, you are not a beneficiary there is nothing to lose. Call Us for a free Consultation.
