TRUSTEES OWE BENEFICIARIES A FIDUCIARY DUTY

Under California law, trustees owe their beneficiaries a fiduciary duty. 加州有许多具体的时间表和规则,执行者和受托人必须遵守. For example, 受托人有法律义务在死者去世后60天内通知受益人他们是信托的受益人. 承担受托人的角色是重要的,并伴随着重要的职责.

Trustees must manage the property owned by the trust well. They must deal with all beneficiaries in a fairly and equal manner. 他们被要求按照信托条款分配财产. For example, 受托人不能决定一个受益人应得的钱少于信托提供的钱. 相反,他们必须根据信托协议分配财产.

When trustees breach their duties to the trustee by mismanaging the trust, not acting in the best interest of the trustee, or otherwise breaching their duties, you as the beneficiary can hold them accountable. 纠正这个问题的第一步是找一位经验丰富的萨克拉门托信托律师谈谈. After reviewing the facts of your case, we can create a legal strategy for enforcing your rights as a beneficiary.

COMMON WAYS THAT TRUSTEES ABUSE THEIR POWERS

Abuse of trust beneficiaries happens every day in California. 虽然每个滥用受托人的案例都是独特的,有几种类型的滥用经常发生. 大多数的不当行为都涉及到你作为受益人的最大利益, misappropriating funds, or abuse of power. 在某些情况下,受托人完全没有能力,需要撤换他们的职位. 我们可以帮助你要求法院撤换受托人,并指派另一个更合适的受托人.

REFUSAL TO DISTRIBUTE ASSETS ACCORDING TO THE TRUST AGREEMENT

一些最严重的受益人滥用类型发生在受托人未能及时分配信托的资产. The refusal could be blatant. For example, the Trust Agreement could state that when the creator of the trust dies, 受益人应立即继承信托的所有资产. 受托人可以扣留与信托协议相冲突的部分信托资产.

拒绝分配也可能意味着受托人允许某人住在信托所有的房子里,而不支付足够的租金. 如果信托协议规定你作为受益人有权从信托拥有的房屋收取租金, you are entitled to the fair market value of the rent. 当受托人没有向承租人收取公平的市场价值时,你可能有一个有效的法律要求.

When trusts are complex and own a variety of assets, 要知道受托人是否正确分配信托资产是很有挑战性的. In our many years of representing clients, we have come to believe that “when there is smoke, there is usually fire."如果你怀疑你的受托人没有分配你应得的资产, it is worth looking into. 我们可以评估情况,并帮助你发现受托人是否违反了他们的义务.

THE TRUSTEE IS ENGAGING IN WRONGFUL EXPENDITURES

受托人确实有权把钱花在与管理遗产有关的开支上. 然而,他们不能把信托基金的钱花在与遗产无关的事情上. 例如,受托人不能在个人按揭付款或个人开支上花钱. If you suspect that your trustee has been mismanaging funds, 有经验的信托律师可以帮助你审查管理人/受托人的会计.

受托人被要求定期记录他们如何使用信托基金,并将信息报告给受益人. While trustees are entitled to compensation for fulfilling their duties, the payment must be reasonable. They must receive payment based on their experience and skill set. For example, if they are only spending five hours a week managing the trust, they should not be paid a full-time salary.

ABUSE OF POWER AS A TRUSTEE

遗产受托人和遗嘱执行人有时滥用他们的权力给受益人带来困难. For example, if there are multiple beneficiaries, 受托人可以通过拒绝答复另一受益人要求提供信息的请求来偏袒一名受益人. 或者受益人可能会给他们最喜欢的受托人更多的补偿,当信托协议说,分配是平等的. These situations would fall into the category of gross incompetence.
