PENNSYLVANIA FIDUCIARY ABUSE AND FRAUD LAWYERS
Offices located in Allegheny, Butler, Washington & Westmorland Counties
Administrators, Trustees, Guardians and Executors of an estate all have a very high standard of care. They have been entrusted to oversee the proper and appropriate administration and distribution of assets for the sole benefit of the beneficiaries. Failure on their part to do so may leave them not only liable for their malfeasance, but, in some cases, may even lead to criminal charges.
The attorneys at American Wills & Estates represent beneficiaries of trusts, estates and guardianships who have been the victims of fiduciary abuse or fraud. Our lawyers will use their experience and knowledge to stop fiduciary malfeasance and to recover lost or mismanaged assets. When beneficiary assets are being improperly depleted, invested or retained in violation of Pennsylvania trust laws, our attorneys can take steps to stop such practices and ensure that the trust, estate or guardianship is being properly administered.
In some cases fiduciary fraud is willful and is undertaken with the specific intent to defraud the beneficiary. Such abuse can take place and occur over a number of years and in small increments, or it may take place in one large financial transaction. In other cases fiduciary malfeasance is not always willful or intentional. For example, a child who is acting in the role of guardian for an incapacitated parent may actual think that he or she is acting in an appropriate and prudent manner, when, in fact, they have inadvertently breached their fiduciary duty or improperly used their parent’s assets. Fiduciary abuse can involve financial or bank assets, illegal or improper real estate transfers, or fraud involving personal property or assets.
Fully and comprehensively investigating cases involving fiduciary fraud requires skilled legal understanding and knowledge of the Pennsylvania laws relating to fiduciary responsibilities and duties. The attorneys at American Wills & Estates are experienced in litigating trust fraud, estate fraud and guardianship fraud cases. Our lawyers will work with beneficiaries to stop fiduciary abuse and to help them obtain the trust and estate assets to which they are entitled.
The lawyers at American Wills & Estates offer victims of fiduciary fraud and abuse free legal consultations and affordable hourly rates for our fiduciary fraud litigation services.
