Disputes about personal representatives (executors or administrators) and trustees arise when beneficiaries challenge management of a deceased person’s estate or a trust, or seek accountability, variation or removal. A solicitor in this area investigates alleged breaches of trust or fiduciary duty, advises on removing or replacing an executor or trustee, and handles applications to the court for accounts, injunctions, or other relief. They also help with settlement negotiations or court proceedings in the appropriate England and Wales courts.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The preservation of proper control over assets, timely distributions, and protection against misfeasance are central. A solicitor’s role includes regulatory oversight, arranging accounts, requesting disclosures, and guiding court actions to secure or challenge distributions and to rectify breaches.
