Blended Families-Trust Litigation-"Fiduciaries Can't Count"
RSVP for the next DEPC Speaker Meeting on Tuesday, October 13, 2015! Guest Speaker Howard Sanger, Esq. will speak about Blended Families, Trust Litigation and "Fiduciaries Can't Count"!
Topic: Blended Families - Trust Litigation - "Fiduciaries Can't Count"
The post-death battles in blended-family situations, disputing how much gets distributed
(a) to the second wife/widow/stepmother, vs.
(b) to the children from the decedent-husband’s first marriage,
can be brutal … and result in surcharges to executors and trustees that make accounting blunders because their advisers knew little about California fiduciary Principal/Income accounting rules-law.
