Why Disputes Between Trustees and Beneficiaries Occur
At any time and for almost any reason, trustees and beneficiaries can find themselves in the midst of a complex and heated disagreement. In many cases, both the trustee and the beneficiary feel they are acting appropriately, which can make it difficult to reach an amicable resolution.
Common scenarios in which trustees and beneficiaries may encounter issues include the following:
A trustee is suspected of a fraudulent breach of trust
A trustee acts against the best interests of the beneficiary
The trust was set up by an individual who was not of sound mind
The trust document is unclear or incomplete
A trustee doesn’t administer the trust efficiently
The beneficiary expects more than they are entitled to
The beneficiary doesn’t understand the terms of the trust
The trust documents do not reflect the wishes of the deceased
The content of the document is open to interpretation
The settlor was provided with negligent or misleading advice
The above list is far from exhaustive, but nonetheless illustrates some of the most common causes of disputes between beneficiaries and trustees. If any of the above apply or you believe you have a valid case to pursue, we’re standing by to take your call.
Contact a member of the team at Aristone Solicitors anytime for more information.
Who Can Make A Claim?
In most instances, it is the beneficiary who makes the decision to take action against a trust or trustee. Nevertheless, it is also possible for any other party to file a claim, if they believe they have just cause to do so. Examples of which include creditors and former spouses/civil partners.
For the trustee, successfully contesting a claim means obtaining expert legal support at the earliest possible juncture. The more complex and serious the issue, the greater the importance of considering your options and obligations under legal advisement.
Aristone Solicitors: Experts in Dispute Resolution
At Aristone Solicitors, we work hard to resolve as many disputes between trustees and beneficiaries as possible, without court involvement.
The process begins by carefully examining all documents and accounts relating to the trust, along with supplementary evidence concerning the deceased party and their circumstances at the time the trust was created. This will enable us to determine if you have a valid case to pursue, at which point you can decide whether or not to take things to the next stage.

A trust is a fiduciary relationship which places a third-party trustee between a beneficiary and the assets or property they legally own.
